And this is the picture of the Moog 81117 from the link you posted:
It is obvious that Moog has the spec in their database wrong, this is clearly NOT a pigtail spring, and is in fact, a squared end spring per the next pic:
Towing and rear spring

Spec sheets have incorrect listing on ends for sure.underworld1001 wrote:V6 - https://fme-cat.com/Application.aspx?ye ... 954cc&ga=Y

install steps
I thought I saw an installation steps for rear springs here someplace????
Anyone??
Anyone??
done
Well I got the moog springs and airlift installed. Took about 4 hours, not bad. Ride height is 35' to the lip of the fender. Increase of 1 inch. Has a slight rake to it. I didn't need the rear shocks. The Bilstein were actually less firm than the OEM in there.
Problems with the alignment tho. One of the rear cams is seized in the lower control arm. I'll also need to install front eccentric bolts in the lower control arms, which are OEM on order. I hope that goes OK.

more trouble
Well it gets worse. Another seized bolt in L/front control arm. Looks like it will need a couple control arms and the cam bolts to make it right. Sometimes these repairs just turn into nasty.
towing
I went for my first tow. Used equalizer hitch, put the air bags at 20lbs. It towed fine on the highway. I find the hitch is a bit too high to level the trailer off the hitch. Will need a lower drawbar. But overall it works good and doesn't struggle at all.
