I have read the threads about changing the rear air suspension to coil springs. First question is, have any of you done this mod and wish you had stayed with the air? I am old enough to really appreciate the ride quality of the Rainier (2005 117000mi.) and if it makes a noticeable difference, I would just bite the bullet and stay with air. I just purchased this car for an extra vehicle and it is in excellent condition, but it has the passenger side low lean-about 3/4" difference all the time, doesn't leak down. Just had new tires put on and the guy at the tire shop tried to adjust the level sensors and really just succeeded in lowering the rear lower than the front.
The air bags look to be original and look pretty aged, and I hate the car not sitting level so really looking hard at the coil spring kit. It looks like it will need bags soon, so I am going to head it off before I have a real issue. I will not be using the car for heavy towing.
Second question is have any of you that went with the coil springs still have the unlevel issue?
thanks for any replies
