Just put new Moog Coil springs in rear along with Monroe Sensa-Trac HD Coil-Over Shocks and New Bilstein HD Shocks and Moog Coils in front. Still need to get the MarkMC 2.5" suspension kit and the MarkMC 1.5" - 2" Wheel Spacer depending on which tires I get. Looking into LT285/70 R17 Fierce Attitude MT. Had them on my 04 2500HD Silverado and loved them.

What part number for the rear moog springs? What are the specs on them?
Free length, spring rate, progressive or non progressive, and amount of lift you expect from them.

Brett, what gearing do you have?
JD did some research a while back and figured out that 33's at highway speed with 3.42 gears is bad for the tranny.
If you don't spend a lot of time at highway speed or if you have 3.73 gears or better you should be ok.

What is the part number for your front springs? What springs did you have stock? Where did you order your springs from?

I have the same rear shocks on mine. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get them for. I paid 100 for the pair. Pepboys wanted 125 a piece.
I DON'T care what my GMT360 was designed to do, I care about what it can do!
