Would bleach hurt the coolant system? I work at a parts store so i hear a lot of crazy ways to do this and that, but a guy came in claiming to have been a mechanic all his life (like 90% of all the other customers) and he used bleach to flush every car that came in his shop. Thoughts?

okay so i have the rough country 4.5 inch lift short arm kit right now, i want to upgrade to the TnT LAs and as i have done some researching all the pictures have this massive flex. I know my coils will not stretch that fair and i know that when i upgrade i can do the 5.5 or 6.5 inch coils but how will my rear end compensate and or is there something i can do to make my coils not just jump out, kind of like limit straps on prerunners?

So what hasn't been replaced in coolant sys? its weird when you replace/flush only to have sludge/discolored coolant still in there..
