Springs And Leveling Kit

[clomax]

I've dug around for a few hours trying to find some information for my 2001 Yukon. The truck has rough 170k miles on it and the rear suspension is pretty soft. I ordered replacement Bilstein shocks all the way around and have been looking to find a heavier set of replacement springs for the rear to no avail. Does anyone have a link to an aftermarket replacement if it exists? I'm not really looking to lift the truck but the only other option that I've found would be replacing the coils with factory replacements and adding a RC leveling kit or similar product. Second question: Since I've ordered the Bilstein's already I noticed the RC kit comes with shocks, will the Bilstein's have the proper piston length for this or would I be better off using the supplied shocks? Sorry if this is incoherent... too much caffeine and not enough sleep! Thanks for your help

Have you looked into Air Lift or Firestone air bags. Got them on my 00' Silverado to keep it from sagging and to allow the truck to stay level after I lifted the front 2" with Ford keys. You've got coil springs in the rear which make it easy to install the bags (no drilling the frame).

I agree I put airbags and an onboard air compressor on mine and I love the flexibility of it. it only takes about 30PSI to get 2" of lift.
