I couldn't find an application of these shocks anywhere posted by Bilstein. I realize you have them and they work but I was snooping around. How easy is it to roll these back to 0" lift? Do you have to compress the springs to do that?
I recall trying to justify the weight difference in the specs when this was discussed before. The 180# or so difference to me points that there are more differences between V6 and V8 than what seems to have been found. The rear-end is about all that was ever known for sure to be different though. That's just such a huge weight difference for an engine. I mean we're talking a typical engine is 400-500lb so to add 180# would be nuts. I'd believe it if it was an aluminum V6 to an iron block V8.doctahjones wrote:
*shrug*. v6 LE 2wd is listed as 4678lbs and v8 le 2wd is listed as 4866lbs according to edmunds. and on a side note the v6 4wd is listed as 4934, and the v8 4wd is a whopping 5107! she's a heavy b***h.
The suspension could be verified by part number.skinny2 wrote:I recall trying to justify the weight difference in the specs when this was discussed before.
