Rear Coil Spacers?
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. http://www.strutmasters.com/Hummer-H...t-p/-h2-r1.htm 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; http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/9956/coilspacer.jpg 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?

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?
