Default Chevy Suburban 2008: Need Suspension Advice

Hi guys, my name is Joe and I'm new to the forums. Since I've had the Suburban 1500 LT for about 6 months now, it's only about time I've found this community. Thank God!

Anyhow, the ride on my 2008 1500 LT is starting to get gradually worse and worse thanks to the rough streets of NYC. I am thinking about changing the tires and the suspension as well. I currently have 20" rims with p275 55r75 (Bridgestone Dueler Alenza H/L) tires. I am looking for a quality, solid, comfortable ride for the everyday driving, no towing or off roading. Like most people, I am trying to be cost conservative about this and get the most bang for the buck. I'm not sure how the aftermarket stuff compares to the stock, etc.

Any advice or recommendations on the matter would be truly appreciated. Trying to get pointed in the right direction!

Welcome to the forum.

Unless you have a ton of miles on it, you should have the dealer check it out under warranty. How are you quantifying the ride getting worse?

You can go w/ a smaller wheel w/ a tire w/ a taller sidewall to get a slightly softer ride.
