Any interest in 4wd front coilovers to replace the tbars?

Can you post some pictures of what your talking about?

Yea, here is the brackets themselves:

and here is what they look like mocked up on mine:

This is from a guy that installed them on his truck:

Damn! Way better than torsion bars I'm guessing. What's the cost of these?

 

[Atomic]

Total cost for the whole swap varies a bit depending on what hardware you use, but generally between 750 and 900 for EVERYTHING. I made a website since then, www.atomicfabandperformance.com if you want to take a look around there for more info. Feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected] if you are interested.

That's not bad at all! Everything means it comes with springs and shocks?

 

[Atomic]

I typically only sell the brackets, but am going to try and start including the little things like spacers and bumpstops. The parts needed are brackets, spacers, bumpstops, spanner wrench and thrust washer kit, shocks, and springs (and procomp mount if you want to use that). Everything is available on ebay/amazon/summit etc.

I'll probably just stick to the torsion bars for now then. That's a nice setup but I can't justify 2k in front suspension for for daily driving unless it provides a significant improvement in ride and feel.

FYI @Bonestock... Brackets don't cost that much. Atomic was saying that after you buy the brackets and everything else you'll have that much in it.

 

[Atomic]

What do you mean 2k? EVERYTHING (including brackets) is between 750 and 900ish. i was just saying I usually only sell the brackets ($200-365) and everything else is readily available online.

 

[Bonestock]

My mistake lol. I misunderstood. I guess I'd shoot high and say you'll have 1k in this after shipping etc. That still not bad for a full coil over conversion. What's the major advantage for this over the torsion bars? I'm fairly certain my bushings, shocks, endlinks etc in my front end need to be replaced. That said I'm not a huge fan of how mushy my suburban rides. There is little to no feedback to the steering.

A guy on GMFS just did it on a lifted truck and he had about $850 in the whole thing but couldve saved a few bucks. Unless you use expensive shocks like FOX or afco or something else, <$900 is 100% doable.

The main advantage is the ride quality and the ability to put your ride height exactly where you want it. I highly recommend giving my PDF a read if you havent seen it already, http://atomicfabandperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/AFP_Coilovers_v20.pdf

Would this work on a 2500? Seriously cosidering this since qm use to driving all my cars with coilovers

 

[Atomic]

You could do it on a 2500, but none of my brackets will work.

Can you link some threads for the lifted version? Everything I have read has been about lowering. Very interested in this.

Yea, this guy just did the swap on his suburban and it came out very nice, http://www.gmfullsize.com/threads/05-burb.306673/page-3

There are a couple others om GMFS but I cant seem to find them
