Thanks for posting, those spring shocks were kicking my butt trying to install them on my TB. Everytime I jacked them up the shock would run away from the mount. I finally gave up because it was getting too dark.ii would have never thought of jacking it up on the control arm. Definitely going to give it a shot tomorrow.

Ok i got and installed these just cause of ur video ! Hooooppee am not disappointed.. the look is awwwwsome! Not too hotrod.. and rear no longer rubs on my tire 285 40 22..

What worked better for me on my 98 Silverado, since I didn't have all the Jack's was to use a ratchet straps and compress the whole shock to about the length of the old shock and then I hooked up to my travel trailer and raised the back end of the truck a little with the Jack but still keeping the tires on the ground. Then once the new shocks were attached on top I made minor adjustments and then hooked up the lower bolt, released the strap and all was good.

Good video. I too, have about 2 inches or rear sag with weights distribution hitch installed. I may have to try these coilovers . Try replacing bump stops with Timbrens or Supersprings brand..They are bigger, taller and beefier all around.

They are a good shock. Put them on my 2016 grand caravan. However they squeak.. Have to spray them on a regular basis.. Hate that squeaking...Use silicone spray
@msack69043 жыл бұрын
If WDH is set up correctly, you should be able to remove the back wheels and the truck will be supported by the tension of the hitch, sounds like the hitch adjustment needed fine tuned. Your rotors rusted because some wheel cleaners are a mild acid, that will cause immediate rust. Decent video, I'll probably be adding these to my 99 Tahoe soon as I will be hauling a couple hundred pounds of tools in the back on a regular basis, the factory leaves are pretty soft, it likes to squat.

Same here. 99 Tahoe with 58,000 original miles just to soft and bouncy for towing..although I do like other things soft and bouncy, lol

Looking to put on my 2016 GMC Sierra 4x4 to tow an Airstream travel trailer. My current issue is “squish” when on the interstate, mostly transitioning from a bridge to/from the interstate. Anyway, do these help dampen the “squished” ride feel?
@campaholic89986 жыл бұрын
They did help me with my Jayco x23b probably lighter than your Airstream but yes it did help me a lot plus I have the weight distribution and helped me immensely again I had an ultra light I was trying to find the same ones for my Silverado 2500 but they don't seem to have it they might have it for 1500 GMC Sierra

Well this was September 17th 2017 if I'm not mistaken they're holding up really well I said hot rod affect it was because it kind of looked as if the rear end was slightly higher but it's not know they do take a beating and it's smooth man so I'm satisfied I am for your application I don't know if you putting weight down on your rear end but it serves its purpose I used to tow a camper with this set of shocks and had no problems even when you're riding with out toeing it's wonderful no keeping in mind this is for my application and it satisfies my needs hope this info was helpful thanks for watching please subscribe
