    I had a clunk coming from the rear (lower control arm bushing) so I deceided to replace the whole rear suspension. It needed it anyways with the lowers not being boxed and everything else showing it's age. New coil springs, Lift bars, Edlebrock adjustable uppers and Air bags. What do you guys think?

    Nice. Getting ready to do the same thing to mine. I have had the parts since Jan. but it was last on the to-do list.

    Looks Great.

    Good looking job ! How was it ? Pain in the Arse ? I've never done a GM before .
    Can the rear springs be gotten out with "compressors" ?
    I've got it all to do ; Body Bushings , Front ,rear springs , All Suspension Bushings . Brakes etc. (be a couple years for 4 Corner Disc !) Thankfully the body is real clean .
    If you've got a few "Tricks" let me know . I've got manuals but it's nice to learn a couple tricks here and there.

    For the rear springs all you do is unbolt the lower shock bolt and lower it down. The springs fall right out! Very easy to do.
