    2012 Suburban 1500 - new front springs with more capacity - ZW7 suspension

    From what I can tell, the 81250 was spec’d on cars with the Magneride shocks. Is that what yours has? I have specs for the 81250 further up in the post - the steel diameter is a little smaller, but the spring is a little longer. I don’t have specs for the 81244 currently, and I’m not sure...

    2012 Suburban 1500 - new front springs with more capacity - ZW7 suspension

    Well, 2 years later, I finally picked a spring. I considered Moog 81244 which as you noted is also cross referenced as the front HD spring. I also considered 81250, and the Dayton CargoMaxx. The shop that installed for me tested the 3 springs out compared to the OEM spring. My aim was...

    Adding front reciever on LS?

    I took a standard front receiver and had a welder cut off the part where the drawbar mounts and flip it to above the cross tube. It ends directly behind the front license plate, and I use a receiver-mounted license plate when not using the front receiver to carry something. Works great and is...

    2012 Suburban 1500 - new front springs with more capacity - ZW7 suspension

    Are you installing Timbrens on the front? I have a pair but have not installed them yet. I can't recommend the Hellwig kit for the rear enough - so much better than the coils to maintain ride quality as you load it down. I also have Supersprings in my rear bump stops but they basically never...

    2012 Suburban 1500 - new front springs with more capacity - ZW7 suspension

    Thanks swathdiver - appreciate your input. I’ve not given up on spring data yet and have some inquiries out. The 2011+ lack of cross references is curious. To be fair, the car handled 700 lbs ok, but it was really soft and compressed a lot over bumps and in sharp mountain turns - it was...

    2012 Suburban 1500 - new front springs with more capacity - ZW7 suspension

    I have a 2012 Suburban 1500 4wd LS at 150k miles. I load it heavily - I've pulled a 7500 lb trailer probably 20k miles (boat, to coast and back) as well as sometimes put a couple hundred pounds on the front hitch (bicycles). At maybe 40k miles I replaced the rear coil springs with Hellwig...
