How to prevent trailer sag.

[Chester Copperpot]

Did anyone hear that?

Sounds like Panda needs an HD truck.

Sweet soccer mom mobile.

Panda buy my truck.

SLT 2500hd yukon XL > your yuppy money pit.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Money pit. Took a picture of 10 quarts of oil and filter, fuel filter, trans filter, with tax, I was at $148.

Oil and filter was $59. Cheaper than an oil change for my Raptor. 404dieselducketsnotfound

Panda buy a Duramax.

 

[PANDA]

My truck would fit in your garage.

Bet.

Bring it by. I would love to try.

First casualty of the truck. #7 glow plug. RIP

a 2007+ burban/yukon XL is shorter in overall length than his truck.

 

[Yaj Yak]

222.4 for burban/yukon xl

vs

227....

 

[PANDA]

I would be concerned with the height. I feel like I only have 4-6 inches with the tahoe in garage.

 

[Yaj Yak]

you'll be fine with all of them then, they're all under 7' tall stock. and that's probably what your garage door is.

Rabbit had these on his 96 Hoe and towed everything he could with them. Worked great.

But seriously, I'm sure you could find "HD" springs for the hoe or just buy bags. Bags will keep your non-tow daily driving softness and then bags will just lift shit so you're not squatting.

Do bags.

I was going to ask how the rear-suspension was on these things; then I remembered 1/2 ton Burbs and Tahoes are Coil sprung aren't they?

I have an Add-A-Leaf on my Explorer to make sure it doesn't sag, but I have leaf packs on the rear.

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeah but add-a-leafs can cause harsher ride.

My explorer rides like a Dump Truck to begin with, so I didn't really care

 

[Outlaw]

I run into the same issue with my tahoe. However my solution is just pulling weight with a real truck

But forreal, look at the air bag setups, you can get one of the $90 Firestone kits that just slips inside the rear coils, manually inflate when needed, deflate with not needed. If you're good you can slip the bag between the coils folded up and not even have to jack the truck up too.

And also wouldn't work with coil springs......



Just buy an air bag kit, they're generally $200 for something worth buying. If it doesn't ass sag unloaded then I'd just leave the stock springs. If it ass sags then buy some new oem or moog replacement springs.

[boostedguy05]
