Was it really a downgrade?

Have a link to them Pro coils? I Googled and what I saw looked like TBSS coils used for big rear drops. With those coils, the top 3-4 coils are compressed and touching. They're "dead" and just acting as spacers. They can be cut out for more drop without affecting the ride or load capacity.

Otherwise, try stock Jeep TJ rear coils :p
Hey, yeah I like the way you think.


I like the way this thing rides currently and actually like those rear coils. I'll get under and look. Keep in mind my truck is like 800lbs lighter than a loaded Tahoe or Yukon Denali. My buddy has a 06 Yukon, and his is around 5400lbs, mine is around 4600lbs. Everything about the two trucks is different on the same lowering kit. Mine also sits higher and generally rides better. Add lightness bro. lol (Or just add no options and make it 2WD)

Got a couple updates on this thing.

Parted out a suburban and sold off the W/T seats. Wired up the power seats off the MBEC. Works great. Including the rear bench I now have 6 total cupholders for the entire vehicle instead of 2, thanks GM. lol

While back I had purchased 2019+ calipers but was waiting on better rotor availability. Went from a 12" to a 14" rotor, and 4 piston floating calipers. Huge difference, totally worth it and if you know someone at a dealer you can get a take off set with pads and rotors cheap.

Keep in mind the rubber lines need changed, a 1/8" washer is needed, and the calipers are deep so you have to check clearance/may need a spacer unless you are running 2019+ (T1xx) wheels.
