Hey guys,

If any of you read my previous thread, the compressor on my H2 went, and rather than commit to a costly repair of the air suspension system I'm going to be swapping out the airbags for coils. I'm buying the Strutmaster conversion kit which I hear is pretty much the best way to go.

Anyways I was planning on installing some 1.5" - 2" spacers along with the coils to give it a bit more clearance. As I'm sure most of you know that 2003-2005 H2's have a 77.8" height, and 2006-present H2's have 79.2" height. This was because of slightly longer springs (or so I've been told) GM implemented for the 2006 model year.

Here is a picture of the spacers;



So anyways, what I want to know is if I get this conversion kit, will these spacers be able to be installed without having to purchase longer shocks? I mean it's only 2 inches, but I'd just like to be sure.

Any insight would be great! thanks!

 

So nobody knows anything about these at all? Nobodies tried it?

 

Given the length of time since your first post, I'd say no.

 

do you get that swap done? i just got the coils and have some questions if you did it yourself

 

I don't get the question... what do you want?

Did you put a 2006+ shock on? Are the new springs new? did you use 2006 springs or 2003 ones? What is the part number for a 2003 shock vs a 2006 shock? what is the part number for a 2006 spring vs a 2003 one??

I'm not buying any of the stuff that you originally posted.... I've never heard that one year sitting 2 inches higher than another year before I read this...

 

I know as a general rule of thumb that if your raising or lowering 2 inches or more that its a good idea to get a shock or strut that is longer so they dont bottom/top out constantly. The hummer on the other hand (if it had the air suspension on the rear) was already set up to raise itself 4 inches so if the shocks are the same as the non-air rear end hummer then I'd say your perfectly safe.

 

I just did a conversion using GM oem coil springs and skyjacker hydro 7000 shocks for my 03 h2. It honestly rides real bouncy. Like if I hit a speed bump the rear feels like it wants to come off ground. I feel every little bump on road. Rear bounces. I'm trying to find anything that works. Will spacers work?

 

great comments, how did the install work out for you?

 

I don't know all the specifics but generally speaking if the rear is bouncing then Replace your shocks. Maybe try a stiffer shock?
