Murphy's Law reared it's ugly head on me. I've been collecting parts for a coilover conversion on the front of my 2004 Tahoe for a while now. I bought a used coilover conversion setup from a user on another board minus Atomic's brackets because I had my own. Low and behold, while the shocks were being shipped my clutch started acting up bad and needs to be replaced ASAP...so in order to get a new clutch I have to forgo my coilover conversion.

Up for sale is a COMPLETE conversion kit for installation as either a stud-top or using the eyelet top of the QA1 shocks. Parts include:

• QA1 DS301 Adjustable Shocks - $360 new + shipping
• Ball Bearing Inserts (already installed in shocke eyelets)
• QA1 Shock Adjusting Spanner Wrenches - $15 new + shipping
• Coil-Over Shock Thrust Bearings (already installed on shocks) $25 new + shipping
• Heavy Duty Top Polyurethane Bushings and Spacers - $35 w/ shipping
• Hypercoil 7" x 2.5" 1200 lb springs (installed on shocks already) $120 new + shipping
• Atomic's Lower Coilover Brackets - $180 new
• Pro Comp Eyelet Conversion Kit - $24 new + shipping

I just received the shocks via shipping this Monday and I've not even installed them. The only reason I'm selling this conversion kit is because I have to choose between coilover front shocks on my parked Tahoe or, a running Tahoe with a working clutch and torsion bars on the front. I do not want to spend the time parting this kit out so I'm selling it all together for $500 + shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 states.

I thought I was the only one using the stud top. Who's kit was this? Jus curious.

 

It's a busy day here but I'll be sending PM responses in the next few minutes to the people who have contacted me about this.

In general, yes, you read that right...my Tahoe has a clutch. I've had a 6-speed in it since the beginning of this year...here is a copy of my thread that I've posted here: 2004 Tahoe 2WD 6-Speed T56 Conversion

I saw your great writeup here and decided to design stronger bushings and washers for us lowered guys over on a a different forum. I ended up machining 4340 alloy and polyurethane bushings on my lathe. I planned on using them on my own conversion but since it took me a while to get all the parts I began selling them on that forum. I may write up a formal thread on them here, but for the mean time here is a post from when I was machining them and here is the finished product. There are not a lot of these installed, but they let you go really low with coil-over shocks. The user 04blackout tried them and has details in page 15 and page 16 of his thread...he pulled them off because they put his ride height lower than he wanted, but otherwise his feedback was positive. This kit includes parts to run a stud-top *or* an eyelet top. Let me know if you have any questions.

The kit was from Bomba02 over on www.tahoeyukonforum.com

Pending sale. I'll update once that sorts out or falls through.

 

Parts are mint!

 

Dude, that's awesome. Especially since, for the most part, I've advised against the stud top. That being said, mine have several thousand miles on them and they're holding up. I still think the procomp adapter is the way to go. Also, I think there should be a piece of steel above the bushing itself. I couldn't tell from the pics if there was or not.

I didn't see it, what hardness did you go with? I think mine was 100, maybe 105? I also have delrin I could have used, but after research and testing, I think it's a poor choice. It doesn't seem to have any elasticity in it. Great for milling, poor for a bushing.

Anyway, I'm glad to see others running the setup. I think the procomp is a better setup, for longevity. I have t looked into it, but I think atomic has updated upper mounts out now, that integrate the procomp upper style mount that's probably the way to go honestly, if you're buying a new setup.

Anyway...good job!

 

Dibs.. If it falls through, PM me PayPal ready.
