Thanks for the vid. It was very helpful.
Glad it helped..
Nice video brother. Keep it up
Thank you, I'm dropping another suspension video soon..
Bro this a helpful video
Thanks bro glad it helped you
Just curious. I wonder if it would be possible to compress the spring just enough to get it in and release it. Maybe with straps or some type of metal bands or a actual spring compressor or ratchet straps. Then maybe you wouldn’t have to drop so much stuff to get the axle to come down.
Well I dont think its impossible...give it a try and let me know how it works out for you👍
Yeah you can use coil spring compressors like a normal person .
Yes spring compressor should get it right out
@@craigbothen8475 normal huh..
Yeah…. Screw disassembling the rear end. Work smart not hard.
Did the ride height change ?
I think I need new coils on my 03 but I don’t want it to ride higher .
It did for me because I upgraded to the z71 coils as well as 1/2" spacers. If you get the same coils and no spacers you will maintain the same ride height..
hey buddy thanks for the video. i amost have same kinda setup on my Yukon. Do you consider to upgrade your track bar in future? and did you notice any kind of weight shiftinh after install coils with spacerS?
Hey bro, I dont have the Tahoe anymore, this video was 2 years ago. But yes, I did install a new rear track bar and I did a video on it also. I didn't notice any kind of weight shift after the install. I did the front shocks too and it kind of just leveled everything out.
doing this on my escalade rn but how will i get my 3" coil spacer to fit ? do i need too compress the coil spring
Your spacer will fit if you drop the axle low enough to be able to fit it in there, if you are using a shop lift this shouldn't be a problem. If you are on the ground the rear end should be lifted high enough at the frame on both sides to be able to drop the axle low enough for your spacers. 3" is quite a stretch so its possible you may have to disconnect the rear brake lines (also called drop lines) that are above the rear diff to avoid damaging or breaking them. Hope this helps!
I did a video on putting on new coil springs and spacers if you have a minute to check it out. That might help give you a better visual...
Chingon.
A huevo..😎
How high were jack stands?...duno if my set up high enough
Not 100% sure how high, I'd say about 2/3 of the way extended...but its going to mainly depend on your tahoe, some sit lower than others so you may need to raise it less. A general rule of thumb would be to raise it high enough to be able to lower the axle down enough to be able to remove the coil springs. I hope this helps!
@@mdzautomotive ur video helped me out..thanks!
Im so glad that it did, thank you for watching!
Why not just compress the coil?
How’s that impact working out for you? I just purchased one from Amazon waiting for it to arrive.
Its really good, definitely worth buying. Make sure you get the high torque one..
@@mdzautomotive yes that’s the one I got it arrived today awesome drill I bought the kit with the 2 batteries and the hard case
Yes, its a bit pricey but well worth every cent..
What’s the impact called if you don’t mind me asking
@@jlabrada09 Milwaukee
What impact socket set is that you have and were can I purchase one.
I got it from Amazon, its the Casoman brand 18 piece. Good set, except for the universal adapter broke on me😑
Thanks for the info
Did you get services leveling system after that?
If you mean the light on the dash then yes it did come on because the shocks I installed are aftermarket. But I didn’t mind it.
@@mdzautomotive I appreciate your reply I did same thing on mine 2016 yukon xl put z71 coils with rancho 3/4 spacer and bilstein 5100 shocks at rear and I am happy with that I got service leveling system notification for 100 km and I think after that everything collaborate properly I never get that notifications again. And more over I had air shocks at rear I unplugged air compressor plug(fuse) never got any issues. Easy to maintain now.
@@BALJITSINGH-ez4nk Yes it is easier to maintain. I also unplugged my air compressor for the rear shocks, it was annoying. Every time I started the truck it would just run non stop😖
@@mdzautomotive did you find solution for service leveling system? Mine come on after I ride on some bumpy road other than that it does not come up
Are there 2 on front axle also?
The front does not have coil springs like in the rear. The springs for the front are integrated into the front shock absorber. I did a video on those too, check it out if you have a minute! Thanks for your question!
Why go thru all that trouble ??
Just compress the springs and listo.!!😂
Can i do 1 side at a time??
You can do 1 side at a time but you’ll have to finish both sides before tightening everything down and lowering the jack or lift..
17:34: Nice job of turning the brake lines into Bend-Ems. 🙄
Thank you, and at 12:25 I stripped a bolt too, you should look into it..
Brake lines screaming
😂
Lol!
So wrong it's pathetic. It's called spring compressor.
Hey bud so jack stands on either side of frame and sping compressor them and they will come out I can leave the wheels on and everything?
@@ivanjamesjensen3057 didn’t try it with the wheels on, but if you can do this with the wheels on and pull it off please let me now cause I need to do this again soon and leaving the wheels on would save me a lot of time..
@@ivanjamesjensen3057 you are right but, not safe.
Ya I forget how we did it years ago must hv had wheels off though we didn't use a compressor. It's a pain in the ass to get mine high enough I need to be higher than my jack stands go .
@@ivanjamesjensen3057 yee the higher the vehicle the better..
