So there is a company out there making 3.0 coilovers for the front of the Gm 1500 platform which our vehicles are part of.

But they don’t make anything for the back. You need to modify a truck 1500 rear 2.5 piggyback shocks to make it fit.

I asked the owner of Carbon to make me a 3.0 top cap with the bearing extended.

I’m going to see if I can make a 3.0 fit.

And then we can run 3x10” rear shocks and 3x5 or 3x5.2 coilovers up front.

For the ultimate off-road capability.

Anyone interested in this?

I love that these guys make everything in house. I ask, he machines… and in a few days I’ll have it. Shipped from Oklahoma to me in NorCal.

Carbon shock technologies in Oklahoma… gotta love it.

Post pics when installed please. I have Fox 2.5 piggyback for the rears but would be interested if the 3.0s were an option.

Nice. Well 3.0 fronts are a go and easy enough.
I need to lift my suburban and get my 2.5’s off and slide this extended top cap on.
It’s a modified one that is used on raptors.

Anyone in East Bay Area want to give my lazy old fat arse a hand lllz
