So i have seen a lot of post about this and is it really as simple as putting on the new shocks and pulling the RTD fuse? Not really wanting to spend $800 on new autoride shocks and compressor.

Yes it is that simple but some people say that pulling that fuse does something to steering, I forget what it is exactly but some say it did nothing and some say if affected the steering.

When i switched over to regular shocks i just bolted them in and bought resistors that you can put on the wires attached to the autoride shocks that make the DIC message go away. But i never put them on because i decided not to cut up the wires just in case i ever sell my truck and the next owner wants to make the mistake of putting autoride back in.

I just hit a button on the steering wheel to make the DIC message go away every time i start the truck. It`s no big deal to me.

I converted mine and hit the button for a year before realizing I could pull the fuse. Pulled the fuse to shut the system off and noticed no ill effects. Everything in terms of steering feels no different at all.

I have a thread around here with what resistors to use to get rid of the message. Just do a search

Do I need a resistor on the compressor too?
