AutoRide question

[ledlow]

Need some advice...

I have a 2007 Tahoe LTZ with 62,000 miles that a bought a year ago. I haven't paid too much attention to it because I bought it for my girlfriend to drive. She is driving something else now and I want to start slowly modding it. It is in great shape but the rear suspension is not right. It has auto ride and when I inspected the suspension it is visually saturated with oil. I suspect the previous owner trailered something with it because the truck has a "brake booster" system on it. I eventually want to lower it (2/4) and put 24" wheels on it. I like the idea of the auto ride but don't want to spend an arm/leg to restore it. How much am I looking at to repair the rear suspension or should I just abondon the autoride?

My previous car was a 2007 Avalanche...regret getting rid of it.

Sounds like your autoride air shocks are blown. You can get Arnott replacement shocks that aren't for autoride and just disengage the whole autoride system. Rockauto.com is a vendor on here that sells em for cheap. check em out!

Off topic, but that looked like a nice avalanche. Can't believe they are not making them anymore. Don't know what I'd do without mine.

Good luck with the Tahoe.

Sweet! Just found out Arnott is in my "back yard"...save a few bucks on shipping.

Picked up the shocks yesterday from Arnott and installed same day...what a difference in the ride.

As soon as I figure out what wheels I want I will be hitting you up Tony for suspension.

Oh, forgot to mention...Arnott gives a 10% military discount.
