Well I got curious today about swapping out some 2nd gen. coils with the stock coils on my 1st gen. , more to settle a debate about this question that always comes up at some point if you wrench at all, a couple of donor front struts off a 2016 sport given to me have been staring me in the face for about a month now, just begging to be disfigured & today was the day...
First thing i had to do was compress them with no compressor....
This was done with an old very heavy ass drill press by raising/lowering table in small increments (for safety)

That’s creative man. I figured you’d have a compressor as many as you’ve done.
Am I missing something here?
EDIT: I mark the positions of the LCA adjusters front & back before I loosen, saves a lot of $$$ on alignment...
Well done sir!! Well done! I really like the... I do not endorse part. Good call.

Basic differences on first look is 2nd gen coil is about an inch longer than the progressive 1st gen coil...
But spring fits properly on perch & dia. is same
(2nd gen on right)

2nd gen sub for 3rd? 3rd gen is 1” taller yes? 2nd and 1st is the same? Am I missing something? 2016 2nd gen is throwing me off.

I’m so confused
Makes more since. So is the 3rd gen off road 2” taller than the 1st gen? I’ve heard the 3rd gen off-road is 1” taller than 2nd gen. If the 2nd gen sport is 1” taller then the 1st gen then the 3rd would be 2?My bad, it should've been 2015 (typo)

Who’s on first?
Alright, now the issue, I gained about 1.5" putting my UCA'a way out of range to even attempt getting within spec. so I'll reset the lock ring /clip down a setting & see what happens....

& what's on second....haha , I don't know but I'm thinking 2nd/3rd gens would be the same no reason to change that dimension really, but at the same time I can take 3rd gen Ubolts/hardware & use them just fine as well...

I love that gen one of yours. Beautiful truck man.
Just like old split ring rims. LolExample of strut being released improperly, & this was off some little ricer I think, not much energy youi'd think...
