I'm GUESSING Hummer H2 rear coils springs would be too stiff? or too tall? or both? for even my Tahoe,
simply because of how much heavier an H2 is compared to a Tahoe?
Guessing because there's kerb weight data, but there are no spring rate data available for any GMT800 vehicles, so far as I know.

Also, I keep reading that YT torsion bars would be too long for my Tahoe's torsion bar brackets?
Also, I need rear coils, not rear leaves.

It was a pickup, the vid isn't important. You will always lift a rear tire first as it's a live axle.
i currently have 180 pounds in the rear corner of my bed on the passenger side , when I take off from a stop its very prone to kick out for being the outboard spot it is, plus the 6.0 torque, plus the 4.10 plus low tread old tire.. etc.. lol.


the video you mention, was it driving and lost control or was it braking or some other situation?

They were passing on the highway. My rears break loose easily too when it is slippery. Part of it weight of the vehicle.
