2008 GMC Sierra - Fantastic Four - Tech



Fantastic 2008 GMC Sierra Ball Joint
After seperating the upper ball joint, Tony removed the two bolts from the bottom of the coilover and removed the spring.		 Fantastic 2008 GMC Sierra Springs
Here's the factory spring on the left, compared to the shorter Ground Force piece on the right. It's the same spring from the kit, but it's been painted black to match the rest of the suspension.		 Fantastic 2008 GMC Sierra Factory Shock
The new spring was added to the factory shock and the assembly was reinstalled. Tony tightened the upper ball joint and the front was finished. Yes, it really was that easy.
Fantastic 2008 GMC Sierra Rear Suspension
Moving to the rear suspension, the gas tank had to be dropped to access the front leaf spring bolt. Tony removed the two straps holding the tank, then lowered the tank with jackstands until he could get to the bolt.		 Fantastic 2008 GMC Sierra Passenger Side
The passenger side was much easier.		 Fantastic 2008 GMC Sierra Impact Wrench
An impact wrench made quick work of the U-bolts.
Fantastic 2008 GMC Sierra Old Spring
Chuck lent a hand to remove the old spring.		 Fantastic 2008 GMC Sierra Ground Force Spring
The Ground Force Spring has just as many leaves, but a lot less arch.		 Fantastic 2008 GMC Sierra Ground Force Shocks
Tony bolted in the new springs, then he added the Ground Force shocks.
