[QUOTE="Marky Dissod, post: 24770, member: 13218"] Adding air springs and an air spring system still leaves me with easily schmushed coils (AND bars). Replacing easily schmushed coils and bars with less-easily schmushed coils and bars cures me of the normal behavior. I don't like 'stock coil behaving as normal'. It's MY Tahoe; as much as I care for them, it does not belong to my freeloading riders. Think I prefer the Timbren rubber bumps over the Sumo airy foam bumps, but those will come AFTER the stiffer bars / coils. Not trying to make a Tahoe 2500 (or use it like one!), there's likely a reason why GM avoided doing that. Let's say I'm trying to make a more stiffly sprung PPV/SSV, except without knowing ANYthing about ANY of the spring rates of ANY of the springs, damnt. (With luck I'll find a 6.0L, then I'll be working on a PPV-PV ...) [/QUOTE]
