Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

For those of us that tow...

Trailblazer and Envoy related, but not off-road related...

A friend of mines recently just ordered some shocks for his Sliverado, he got the extra load adjusting ones from Monroe. I looked at them and seems as of they would be long enough for our rear ends for those ring stocks springs and the 2" spacers. What do you guys think. I'm just. It sure if coil over would hit the pa bar or springs them selfs.

The part number is 58636ST

I looked up the spec

If you want extra load capacity when you need it, most of us use the Airlift 1000 airbags inside the coils.

I was thinking about trying that but at the same time I just wanted some of you guys input. I wasn't trying to come off as me trying to find a cheap or stupid alternative to airbags. I've just always kind of been against using them.

I thought someone in here was already running something like that. Can't remember who

Our spring perches are designed to take additional force. Shock mounts not so much.

What are the thoughts on the air bags in the skyjacker lift springs? Run the same bag? Or should there be a taller one I should look for.

If I upgraded to the skyjackers I'd have to answer this question. But I don't have the need, so somebody else will have to. Airlift engineers will give us the part number if we give them the dimensions of an installed spring at rest height.
