Autoride drop completed!!

xjayx · Jul 6, 2010

I finnaly had time to drop my yukon today, I had a set of MGD spindals and got a set of MGD coil relocaters from Tims suspension online. The rear I got a belltech trailblazer spring and the DJM axle relocater and shock extenders from DJM Direct. All the parts went in great, the coil relocaters worked realy well in the front just swaped them out and reused the auto ride shock. I set the to a 1.5" drop but the can go down to 2". The truck rides great I shortened all of the autoride sensors and it seems to have worked realy well it still rides like its stock. I marked all the sensors at stock height and just realigned the marks after the drop. heres some crappy photos I too ill try get some better ones tomorrow.

That looks to be a clean install, also has your Yukonssitting just right!!
I like it!!
How is the ride now, your shocks look to be hella compressed even with the extenders?

xjayx · Jul 6, 2010

The ride is really good, and the shock is actually in a realy good position maybe its the angle of the picture but it still has alot of travel and it keeps the springs from falling out when i jack up the frame and let the rear end sag. So far everything looks good hopefully the rear settles alittle more and when my rims get here it should sit just right.

looks good bruh

Wow that looks lower than a 1.5 drop in front, that yukon is sitting perfect.

Modded · Jul 6, 2010

Its a 3.5 in front JT, spindles and relocators.

jtalambo · Jul 6, 2010

Thanks Modded I suspected that, but was a little unclear. Now if someone can please explain the free travel method.

NORCAL SS · Jul 8, 2010

free travel mod you cut off the rear brackets.

The rear hands down the djm trailblazer springs with the rear djm kit thing will ride good. Anything else you need man give me a hollar.

BTW on your autoride did you measure before/after with the springs in.

xjayx · Jul 8, 2010

Thanks for getting the axle relocater for me DJM Direct, and I did measure the height sensor in the first picture you can see a white mark on top of it when the two marks align the sensor is back at stock ride height. Thats how I did mines marked it at stock height then just realigned the marks using threaded rod after the drop it worked really well I left them alittle short so when the springs settle it should be perfect.

its no prob bro btw my name is tony

btw if you get another threaded rod you can make them shorter in turn lowering the truck more.

jtalambo · Jul 8, 2010

How do you make the sensor rods shorter without losing the threading?

you can thraed stock bar or go to hardware store and get a shorter one.

xjayx · Jul 9, 2010

haha ya sorry Tony... But thanks for all the help.

I bought a three foot long threaded rod from the hardware store and just cut it down to the lengths I needed to adjust the sensors, Just get a rod thats the same diamiter as the stock ones and it whould thread in fine. The stock rods arent threaded there splined so you just pull the ends straight off. im gonna try shorten mines today and see if I get any more drop out of it.

yah sorry about that they are splined im thking about the trailblazer set up we have

Looks real clean

jtalambo · Jul 22, 2010

Hey Jay, do you get check suspension light on your ride? I get my check light often.

AquinoSteven · Jul 22, 2010

I know this is kinda off topic but would a lifted truck benefit with the free travel mod?

SLT Kon-Man · Jul 22, 2010

Your Yukon looks good, almost makes me want to go ahead and install the Beltech 2/3 kit that I have had for almost a year now sitting on the shelf, still kinda worried about ride quality and condition of the streets where I live. Your's does look outstanding...

xjayx · Jul 22, 2010

My ride quality is great it rides almost like stock just maybe slightly stiffer but not very noticable, I havent gotten any lights as of yet and my auto ride still works. I hear the compressor kick on for a few seconds till it reaches minimun pressure then it stops doesent raise the truck up any. The auto dampening realy works well my truck rides way better than my friends 2010 yukon with belltech struts and shocks and we have the same amount of drop.
