Jimmy vs Envoy Rear suspension

Goran · 10-28-2008, 12:40 PM

Other then the air ride suspension in the Envoy what's the difference in the rear suspension?

i took out the old air ride and put regular jimmy 4x4 shock absorbers in, and the back still sags?

Just crank down the torsion bars at that front and level it out, lol

The sprigns in the rear of these trucks are notorious for sagging. Depending on how much yours sags you may be able to get a set of shackles or add a leafs to bring it back up again. 3leaffab.com I belive makes 1in shackles, those may do the trick.

Also, there is a set of new helper springs for sale on kijiji...i saw the same ad on kijiji windsor as well as st catherines. I think the guy wanted $60 or somthing....take a look...

And for the record, any add a leaf or helper spring will stiffen the ride up some. Shackles will not. If you tow or haul decent amounts of weight, get the AALs, otherwise get some shackles.
