Hi it costs alot to do that guessing about $1500 up. Alot of guys here have remove their air ride, to put coils in because of the cost to fix it.

i already have coil springs but i didnt liked them, noisey + riding quality is bad + ride height... thats why i wanna go back to the air suspension..

the guy that i bought the h2 from he installed tahoe springs and they fail, so its lowered now from the back... is there a good springs u recommend for this?

from the sounds of this, to clarify, you had the air ride system in before, and it was removed?

is the old compressor still there?

new one will run you about $800 from various sites.. ebay, 4x4 sites.. just search around, but thats about the average range

bags i have seen for about $90 to $150.

assuming you have all the hoses and conenctions still, it could be a simple re-install. if it was completly gutted, eh.. bring another case of beer to offset the time your going to spend figuring it out.

Hi these are replacement coils springs if the truck had air ride in it when new. Their is lots of companys out there that make a replacement spring this is a gm spring. Hope this helps.

Sorry, didn't measure before and after. I have not noticed a difference though so it must be minor.

Difference in weight from one side of the truck to the other was our (forums) guess. Spare tire carrier would be one example.

P.S. It would be the tension of the spring and not the Over All Length that would be different.

i got the new coil springs and installed them, they're good but problem is there's noise when i ride on bumpers, when i take a u turn ... he didnt put a rubber he just put a piece of iron at the end...

Hi their should be 4 rubber isolators, top and bottom on both coils. If you don't have them the steel on steel is going to make all kinds of noise and will wear into the mounts. They must be installed!!!

Hi glad it worked out for you and alot cheaper than fixing the air ride.

hurricane 09-23-2010 12:15 AM

Re: need help buying parts
 
yeah it's true, the eom springs are great ...

what else to do guys, i'm looking for a cooler .. but don't know what to buy .. weather in my country is hot, maximum temp in summer is 140F minimum temp in winter 40F .. there's no snow .. so what the best cooler for my ride? do i need a thermostat?

Hi this is the best style to get and as big as you can fit in. Also you want to leave the rad cooler still hooked up and you don't need a thermostat with the temps where you live.

What would be your guess on cost be the then ?
