Im not giving up on you or your slammed suv! haha. Do you have the prototypes installed?

Im not giving up on you either and not letting you throw in the towel. I will come where-ever you are and help you out first. lol.

And I had the front firm for the same reason you stated, fear of bottoming out shock, but like you did, go down a click a day and drive and see how it goes. Im doing the rear clicks now and testing it out.

Dont give up my man.

You have a full schedule, but take your time and take care of your mom, family is more important than fixing our rides. I had to hold off on mine for a funeral, so take care of things and only do it when you have the free time. Dont rush it.

Oh believe me, this truck is low on my priorities right now, but I dont want to just set it aside bc I know others wanna hear about how it works. I think ill be able to put them on in about an hr, which should be no problem tomorrow morning. Her thing isnt til 10am, so I should have no problem squeezing this in

Been balancing 12hr days, kids activities, wife just had surgery, dog just had surgery, air conditioner blew up last week, had to get some go fast parts installed on our beemer, still house shopping, and now mom is having surgery... the burb has definitely taken a back seat LoL

True others are curious, as myself included and want to know, but not enough to over look other more important things in life then does a bushing work or not.

But good lord son, I thought i was busy w/ 4 classes and work full time.


Well prayers are with your mom and the rest of the family & dog.

Update whenever you get the time, no rush on my end.

thanks man, really appreciate that


sorry to say, but my 2 yr old actually let me sleep in this morning, so i didnt get a chance to get the bushings installed. hopefully we dont end up working saturday and i can get on it first thing in the morning

A NOTE ON THE REAR
i have taken 5 clicks OUT of the rear shocks over the last few days, and the ride has gotten noticeably better back there. its still bumpy, but the little bumps in the road that used to be a big BAM!, it just kind of rolls over them now. i guess looking back, i got a little wrapped up in going for the firmer settings when i installed them, and started at 14 IIRC... well apparently that was way too firm, and i never entertained the idea of going under 10, or even to 8 or so. idk what i'm at right now, bc i've lost count, but its way softer and i like it alot more

NOW... the problem of body roll is still there when i hit multiple dips on the highway, but if i could remedy that issue, i think the rear would be tollerable the way it sits now. im gonna keep tweaking it down a couple days at a time, but just wanted to say it has gotten better

You're hella busy, but it sounds like you have your priorities in order. I hope everything is going alright with your mom.

The turn of a knob takes you from a bad ride to a badASS ride...*THIS* is why adjustable shock are TEH BOMB!

I just upgraded my stock anti-sway bars front and rear and it made a big difference. If you're still running the stock sway bars then it may serve you well to upgrade them. Here's what I installed:

Hellwig Front 7702 anti-sway bar

Hellwig Rear 7701 adjustable anti-sway bar

Blackout- hope all is well with your family man! Family is 1st.
I hear you about being busy been moving the family last two weeks, no time to even sit. ha.

Glad the rear is working out and coming together for you.

I will eventually add adjustable shocks to the rear of my ride or coil-over setup....hmmm

So just for discussion, what other reasonable priced adjustable coil overs are there? prob cross post this is question on the other two threads.

This may meed to be my next move. I think the firmness is tolerable, but the sway is not. I really didnt think new bars would be a big difference, but maybe they will... did that rear sway bar come with bushings?
