    I hope I bought the right parts

    Finished the front side today. Torsion keys were on there pretty good. I ended up spraying PB Blaster twice a day for 2 days and banging them with a 4lb hammer till they finally came lose. I bought a BernzomaticTS8000KC Premium Torch Kit as a plan B but didn't end up using it. Plac C was to rent...

    I hope I bought the right parts

    I did think about replacing with new Nivomats but I decided to do Z71 Springs and Bilstein 5100's all around. I had read before that the Z71 springs were only 1" taller than the Premium Smooth Ride ZW7 springs. That's why I was confused and thought my springs were worn but thanks for the...

    I hope I bought the right parts

    Just like a child with a new toy, I couldn't wait till tomorrow to start wrenching. So I started hitting it from the back. I removed the rear shocks and springs. Not sure if these are the originals but they sure look like it. The original spring is 2" smaller than the new Moog Z71 81068 springs...

    Thanks for the clarification. The new springs are actually 2" taller than the ones that came off my Yukon. I guess they might ve the original springs that are hella worn out? Lol. Jungle website. Thanks for the info.

    Thanks. I'll look in to these. Thanks, I believe the front Bilstein shocks I purchased are for 2 to 4" lifts to accomodate the torsion keys I ordered. The rear I believe are rated for 0 to 2" lifts. With the 2" spacers I got and the possible 1" additional lift the Moog z71 springs might give...

    What do you recommend upgrading pitman and idler arms to? Thanks for clarifying regarding the rear shocks. I had no idea shorter shocks were better for towing. Do you know why? I haven't looked in to the AT3W's yet. Why do you prefer them over the BFG?

    I hope I bought the right parts

    I've been creeping these forums for the past couple months while deciding which parts to buy for a basic 2 to 3" lift/level and bigger tires without breaking the bank. Quick backstory, last year a few months before I got deployed, I bought Big Bertha, a 2005 Yukon SLT 4x4, at a decent price of...

    Help with Bilstein 5100 and 2" lift

    Glad I came across this post. I'm taking a 1k mile road trip from PNW to SoCal in 10 days and I'm overdue for new tires and shocks. I was looking in to getting some BFGOODRICH ALL TERRAIN T/A KO2 LT285/75 R16 (33"s), 3" Leveling kit, Z71 Springs, Bilstein 24-185783 for the rear and Bilstein...
