I messed up

[Modded]

Well lnog story short, the other day (like many of yall know) I installed the rear Pedders kit. Today I finally get around to doing the front and after removing the front left strut and compressing the spring I notice a huge mistake.
I accidentally put the Pedders 2424 coils in the rear!
Yeah so that means the strut front coils were in the back, so I then had to bolt the WHOLE front strut/coil back up and then go back to the back and remove the 2424 front coils and replace them with the 2425 coils! Yeah I had no idea that I could make such a stupid mistake, I was pretty pissed.
So after fixing the mistake and installing the correct rear coils, I then had to just leave the front till Monday when I have another chance to do this stuff.
I'm only posting this because I don't want anybody making such a time costly mistake, and to let those who saw the old drop pics know that the rear sits lower than before (with the mistake 2424 coils) which makes me happy!
I'll post pics eventually......

Don't feel bad. The kit comes with no instructions. I have a few suspension rebuilds under my belt and I had to scratch my head when I unboxed everything. I ended up putting one of the rear springs in upsidedown.

I love the way the Tahoe looks now but, was expecting a more sporty ride. The wife drove it this week and said it rode the same as when it was stock.

Super easy mistake to make but better to have to swap out the rear springs than the front ones

Thanks for the relief guys, and Oakster your right, if I had to swap the front springs due to a mistake like that I would jump out a real high window!

And Quick66ss I noticed a good amount of a sportier ride and I don't have the shocks like you. You may not notice it much because you drive it everyday, drive a stock Tahoe and you'll feel the difference. ALso try higher speed maneuvers and you'll feel some more differences.....

That sucks man! It's a good thing you caught it before you completed the install in the front... That would really suck too.

Iwaslowr how dark is your front window tint, 5%?

Iwaslowr how dark is your front window tint, 5%?

5% on the front doors but the windshield is completely tinted with a layer of 50% plus the upper and lower 5% brows...

... And did you ever install that Belltech kit?

I still haven't had time to do the front yet... but am getting getting tired of the Cali lean. Needing a spring compressor and bushing press is not helping either...
