Ordered Christmas present for the 2003 Z71 Tahoe (she deserves it)….

Coil-over kit from Atomic Fabrication and matching rear shocks…. been on the “wish list” for a long time.
I just completed the front mod a few months ago. Have not done the rear yet. Absolutely love it.

Nah, just a cheap cover indeed on. It’s flaking after 4 years. Could t find a good one. The one I installed on her Altima was REALLY nice. This one sucks
Kind of looked like the Grant wheel. I've heard its been discontinued unfortunately.

I finally flushed the brake fluid out with the help of one of those suction tank things. I think I bought it nearly two years ago to do this job and procrastinated that much on it, yikes! But that suction tool has been very handy. I also used it this time last year to drain the trans 6 or 7 times as an easier method to swap out the the trans fluid.

I depressed the brake pedal a few times when flow became stopped....I had the passing thought while I did it that going to the floor might not be the best idea. On startup "service brake" showed up but pedal feel was fine, actually a good bit better than before flush so I wasn't that worried. Checked for leaks, plugged HP Tuners to scan for codes...nothing.

I removed the negative cable before bed and all was fine this morning. Whew!

Thanks for the information…
Any issues with the installation? / items to be on the lookout for?
Not really, but my setup is for a 2wd 2002 Tahoe. If you watch the videos on the Atomic website, he provides all the guidance required. I do have two comments though. On the the drivers side upper support bracket - ensure you install the upper hardware (bolt and nut) first. Second, In order to get my ride height correct, i needed to adjust (raise) the preload (lower two lock rings) almost an inch. I did take a few pictures on my build thread. Atomic's customer service is awesome. Feel free to reach out to him - he will respond very quickly.

Thanks for the 1st hand run down.
I have watched some of the videos as well.

Took a pleasure ride in it this morning, at least it was that until I got to the office. :(

Topped off the tank with corn fuel on the way home, almost 15 gallons @ $2.50. Premium (91 here at altitude) is only 50 cents more now ($3), so it's almost a wash. But I stuck with the E85 for now.
