I'm not a fan of suspension -- I'm afraid to say, not because of the way it rides (I've never tried), but the way it looks. Have you tried releasing your brake cable to remove the fat tire?
My front brake is a SunTour RollerCam, which is probably part of my brake pad clearance problem. (My rear brake is a Shimano U-brake.)

Here are some Schwinn Team Issue Project KOM-10 pictures (not mine). This replaced the Paramountain for 1988-1989.

It got noticed in this year's Neptune Avenue 4th of July parade, along with my red T-shirt, white socks, and blue suede cycling shoes.
