Review on Enhance Your Vehicle's Performance ๐Ÿš— with Moog 81108 Coil Spring Set by Charles Phillips

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The truck drives and drives like new again.

I have a complaint. The coil springs were not protected. The springs kept bouncing against each other during delivery. The powder coating was damaged in several places. It's unfortunate. The feathers were side by side in the same MOOG box. The MOOG box was placed in a shipping carton and filled with paper to dampen and stop movement. On the light side. The MOOG box looks great (sarcasm). Positive Feedback: Coil springs work as expected. The new springs raised the front two inches and lowered the rear 1/2 inch. The trip goes back too. It's not a bouncy ride, but there's more recoil. The suspension is no longer too stiff. Repair. The new springs absorb shock much better than the old springs. Learn from my mistake. Examine the springs carefully before disassembling your truck. I wanted this job done so I'll live with the stains. If yours arrive damaged. Take photos and send them with the application. Replacing a damaged item is quick and easy. If you don't hurry how to get help. By the way, if this is your first time and you are planning that renovation on your driveway. BREAK! Removed front skid plate, removed both anti-roll bar bushings and removed both outer tie rods. Replacing the struts and top supports is the easier solution. Reusing an old frame and top plate requires heat. Unscrew the top strut nut (too much heat destroys the top to install the rubber isolator. I didn't change the struts so I wasted an hour of extra work. The alignment or how the strut and spring assemble is very specific. Part marking and alignment are critical. Otherwise the strut will be removed, the strut will need to be re-compressed and the clock repositioned on the top plate. I have attached the picture. You will notice that the new spring is slightly taller than the one OEM and the coil diameter is larger than OEM, these MOOG springs will last much longer than original equipment.

Pros
