MOOG 81069 Coil Spring Set for Chevrolet Tahoe

I installed these today on my 2004 Chevy Tahoe ls, Along with New Monroe reflex shocks and I'm very happy with the ride. They fit nice, a little harder getting the new ones installed than removing the old, but nothing difficult. I was worried the ride would be too stiff sense these are considered heavy duty but it still rides nice just a little more stable.

Great replacement for my son's 2000 tahoe. Really improved the ride.

...it was delivered within a week (to Germany) and they had no visible damage, they looked brand new. They lifted my stock Tahoe (03) about 2 inches, cranking the stock front torsion keys to maximum makes the truck sitting 2 inches higher and leveled. I'd recommend!

Must have for the suburban. Originally deleted the factory rear air shocks and springs and put in the Moog 81071 springs. Rode much better but still squatting under any load. These HD springs are slightly stiffer but handle loads much better. Both pictures are with 500# of payload. Install can be a bit tricky as you need to lift the body fairly high to get the taller springs in. No spring compressor needed just unbolt the rear sway bar and shocks and Jack up from the lowest hanging part of the frame.

This spring is the equivalent of the one used on the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon "Z71" packages. This gives you about and extra 1” lift from a measurement standpoint on a suburban. To my knowledge this is the only Heavy Duty spring you can get without getting into increased suspension lift. Air bags are another option if you want to deal with it. The LS, LT and other models use a softer spring that is a bit wider in the coil configuration and less coils overall. This 81609 has a tighter coil package and the steel coil is thicker, I want to say the standard coil is 5/8 and this one is 3/4 . A tahoe/trailblazer website discussion forum has details/pics on it if you wish to search the web for further details. Install is pretty simple on a suburban, disconnect lower shock bolt and sway bar bolt holding axle. Jack frame of vehicle up high enough to pull old spring out and insert the new spring. Reverse order of putting everything back together… Keep an eye on the rubber brake lines while you jack up the vehicle that you don’t put too much tension on them that they rip apart. They will get tight so be careful on how high you raise the vehicle during this process. If you don’t know what I’m talking about go somewhere and have it done for you. I'm not liable for the instructions I'm providing. Comfort of ride did not change in my vehicle,, maybe not as of a spongy ride,, but really hard to feel any difference. Definitely did not provide a harsh ride afterwards. My use was for mainly for towing so I wanted the ride height of the vehicle to hold the trailer tongue weight better than the stock softer coils.
