Any interest in 4wd front coilovers to replace tbars?

The largest you can fit in my upper mount is 1.25" diameter, this is of course having the stud bolt concentric with the hole opening. I am suprised your prototypes fit in the shock mount being that big, I figured they would hit the outer edge and push the hole too far inboard.

When you say "your upper mount", do you mean the stock upper mount or the upper mount that you designed and sell?

If you're referring to your stock upper mounts then it may be that there's a difference between our stock upper shock mounts since your truck is 4wd and my Tahoe is 2wd?

My upper bracket will only fit a 1.25" diameter piece because of the gussets on it, I am not sure what will fit in the pocket on the frame (dont have the truck around). I suspect its bigger but not sure big enough for a 2.5" diameter one.

I got my washers done earlier than I thought, these should make it very easy to use the stud top without the bushing. You guys that have already bought stuff from me let me know if you want some and I will mail you pair out.

So you dont think theres a need for a bushing on the stud top. With having the lower bearing it should be able to move and the pivot of control arm which was mentioned. So I should be able to make a washer that will work with stock upper and use the stud top?
Getting close to order the rest of my parts woo hoo!!
thanks for putting up with all my question!!!!

Send em my way and i'll give them a try and see.

Not sure i fully understand the no bushing thing though, but why not, first to try the coil overs, what could go wrong right? ha ha..

Why do you guys think there should be a bushing? The procomp mount doesnt use one. All the load should be support by the spring, so any force in that direction will compress the spring, so you dont need a little bushing there to absorb load. Obviously having bumpstops is important to prevent shock loading. You can still use the included bushing on top of the spring pocket for when you jack the truck up.

B/c GM told me to. ha ha..

There thats bumpstop word again. ha ha.

I thought there needed to be a top bushing so the spring could pivot as the suspension travels.

I recommend using the bushing on top so the stud can still pivot, but it would just shift the weight on the bottom against the washer if it needs to pivot. I made my lowers so it lines up with the factory shock, so it shouldnt need any off-angle adjustment. Im still keeping my eyes open for bearing options.
