2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

[Dantheman1540]

Got the mockup done and the coilovers assembled. The area of the bump stop that has to be cut was a PITA to cut with all the control arms in the way. I'm excited to pull them out to clean up what I already cut and do the passenger side with more room.

The coil is very close to the UCA but I cycled it and I don't think it will be a problem. with this setup I will definitely lose a little down travel, might even swap upper mounts to give it an extra 1.5" of down travel, but that can be done after some testing.

They are really too nice for me. I'll almost feel bad blasting them with dirt from the farm roads I have to navigate occasionally.

yea really you couldnt hose all the dirt off you lazy mf, use a stiff brush, and a toothbrush, remove all the frame coating and paint the frame before putting those on

also whats up with the lower bearing mount? did you get the metal sphericals?

i ordered two from jegs or summit a long time ago, well they sent me 2 BAGS of them with like 10each in there. i felt sorta bad about keeping them, dont tell anyone

Hey Bih! It's getting a car wash today at lunch, don't hold your breath on the frame painting though.

If your talking about these they are installed but I didn't have the little cone spacer dudes installed which also might push it away from the UCA a tad.

yea i guess thats what i was wondering if there were some spacers or washers to throw between where that bearing goes between the mount to take up the space

Yeah I have them just didn't put them in because I'm a lazy POS.

I did get the old girl washed for you tho.
