After a number of months, happy to report back that the Moog/Bilstein set up still gets positive reviews from me. With the springs being stiffer, I did lower my psi from 35-36 to 33-34 and the ride quality is much better. At 35-36 the ride was definitely a bit more harsh then stock. With the slightl...

Bilstein and Moog front and rear installed

Just got both front and rear Moog springs and Bilstein shocks installed along with all new oem spring seats and isolators. Overall the height is slightly raised compared to stock and very even front to back. Looks good. There was one oddity in the install--it seemed as though the front shocks were m...

Well, I posted a whole write up around the challenges of this install, but, for some reason the post didn't upload.... Long story short, it's a pain because lots of things are seized up, even though this is a well maintained mom-mobile that always gets undercarriage washes. So, till I get a chance t...

I've had mine on a while now and have probably put, something of a rough guess, around 2000+ miles on them. The rear is still higher than the front so there was minimal settling. Speaking of which, yes the springs are pretty cheap. When I bought them I had to keep reading the description that it wa...

I wonder if the springs will settle at all given the weight of the vehicle? I got notice that both sets of springs shipped today, so shouldn't be long now. The funny thing to me is how cheap shocks and springs were for the Pathy. I'm used to sportscar prices and 159$ total for four springs from Amaz...

I found that the rear sway on the 2011 is 25.4 mm but cannot find the diameter of the 07 anywhere! I've asked the guy selling an 07 bar online to measure the diameter for me...we'll see if I get lucky and he can tell a difference +\- 25.4mm!

Yeah, they look linear to me as well. The Moogs have the same spring rate for front and rear which I was mildly surprised to hear, however, I looked up the weight distribution on the Path and it is actually 51/49. Downright sporty...not! I just got the Bilsteins in the mail today and they are some n...

Are the oem springs linear as well? Any idea what the oem spring rates are?

I just ordered this same set up, except for front and rear. Your set up looks great.

I think I am going to go with the Moog springs and the Bilstein HDs. I'll see how that is and then decide on trying out the 07 sway bar.

Yes, I am def. doing the shocks, but was wondering if at the same time I could improve the rest of the suspension. The soft 2011 suspension was even when the truck was new--even my wife noticed that it handled less well than the 2007, so you know there was a difference! When I look up 2007 and 2011 ...

Help: rear spring and sway bar rates from 2007 to 2011?

I have a 2011 LE and previously had a 2007 LE. The 2007 had noticeably better handling--much less sway and felt firmer springed--tires being the same. I just ordered the Bilstein HDs but was thinking to swap out to 2007 spring and sway components if they were indeed different. From my research, it l...
