    Anybody installed these headlights already?

    Ha. I have that same grill to go on. If I get the headlights... Well... Me and you are gonna look the same. I like the look. Got a lot of parts first to install... Motor mounts to grill to XB LEDs and spark plugs and fluids...

    Pre-Loaded Strut/Spring : Parts to Make My Own

    Well, they were trying to help me out. Original shop said they no longer did light truck suspension. A phone call later, guy there said he is waiting for you. It was a favor... That snapped my strut.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Thanks.. I think? The 5100s are set to stock. The spacer can always come out. I don't expect a RC spacer to throw me up too high. I don't mind a little lift but if anything seems I'll get a level. The rears are also the Moog Z71 HD equivalents with 5100s. If I need to pull a front spacer...

    Got a head on shot? I have a black Suburban, too. Let me see what I'd be getting myself into.

    Pre-Loaded Strut/Spring : Parts to Make My Own

    I'm glad you say that. It makes all that I'm going through right now seem worth it in the end.

    Pre-Loaded Strut/Spring : Parts to Make My Own

    Their warranty guy is doing his job to deny everything. Seems perfection flows from Bilstein and stops at their door. I question a piece of equipment that is to support my multiple ton family vehicle but cannot have a brand new GM top nut installed.

    Pre-Loaded Strut/Spring : Parts to Make My Own

    Just realize that last part you listed is the strut (shock, spring perch, bump stop cap and nut). I already had the Bilstein 5100s. So I had to buy that part just to get the spring perch piece. But yes, if you want to go that route you can. Keeping all things stock, mind as well go for a...

    That is the upper. I was in need of the lower.

    Pre-Loaded Strut/Spring : Parts to Make My Own

    Holy shit. First shop couldn't do it. Second shop no longer services light duty trucks. Third shop, at recommendation of second shop, does the ... well... I get a call: first one is done... the second one.. well the strut just sheered off. Bilstein does not cover install screw ups. In an...

    Pre-Loaded Strut/Spring : Parts to Make My Own

    Well, this has become a conversation for my self with myself. I noticed some threads here don't wrap up. I like closure and will see this through so others may learn something, even if it is nothing. AC Delco front struts. Popped off the bump stop plates and stole the spring perches. Those...

    Anybody installed these headlights already?

    Meh, sometimes bright doesn't mean the light is going where it needs. It is my concern with the aftermarket headlights: designed for looks not performance. Then again, seems GM did not design these headlights for performance either! Also, previous vehicles which I ventured into the...

    Pre-Loaded Strut/Spring : Parts to Make My Own

    This is really adding up to be a pain in the ass. GM does not sell the lower spring perch separately. I cannot find a Moog/aftermarket part (K160311?). So, going to need to tear apart my current assembly or buy a new strut from GM just to harvest the perch. Called Bilstein. They know it is an...

    Bilstein Question

    Sucks no answer to this. I'm trying to preload mine. Without spring seats, I'm stuck using old ones. Moog K160311 seems to be the nylon isolator.

    2007 Yukon Denali stalling

    I lean towards this uncommon occurrence to a failing torque converter in my 09. PO did towing and I think wore some things out.

    True there is a newer gen dash 13+ that is a better material?

    Just finished a ton of work...ask me anything

    Cool. So really just remove all the bolts, let all the old fluid drain, replace cover and fill up?

    Pre-Loaded Strut/Spring : Parts to Make My Own

    One shop uses the Branick wall mounted .. not the newest ... If this shop cannot I'll go to a truck speciality shop. One big one in the area services Medium to heavy duty trucks, from RVs to big rigs.

    Doh, forgot lower insulators and going to get new top nuts. THEN, get them pre-loaded.
