For some reason I'm not getting the Airlift part number from Tony. So I called Airlift and gave them the spec's for the Belltech 5305's. They gave me Part# 60742. I even called back and asked another person and they gave me the same number. They were $87 otd from Summit Racing.

Dang, I don't know then. Must be something up with my email not accepting yours. When I called you, You asked for me to email you about it and that your would send me the part number. I was starting to think you had something against me. Lol! I never did check the vendor section.

OK, i found this thread doing a search. Not trying to threadjack, but I really don't want to start another autoride thread. My question is for Tony. I have a leaky bellow on one of my rear shock absorbers. I want to disconnect the air line from the shock and attach it to the corresponding airspring in each coil. Have you heard of or tried this? Thanks

Don't know if I would try that. In theory, I'd imagine it would work, but then you would need to replace the rear shocks because they wouldn't carry/hold/stabalize/absorb the correct load like a shock should.

the stock compressor system will do more than 35 lbs so do not use it

nathanjax, its mike over from cadillacforums, i was doing the rear 5 inch drop on an escalade trying to retain the air ride.


anyways, got it all done, and now i need something like this. towing my boat w 3 people in the boat was horrible; i felt like the truck was just sitting on the tires, and it sounded like that.

how much does this lift the rear end? im hoping at least an inch. i really dont want to have to put a spacer in my newly installed drop, but i frequently have 7 people in the truck or 7 people and a boat

Hey man, with my current Yukon, I get about 2 inches of moment from empty to full bags. I haven't towed with it yet, but just make sure you get the proper size bags to go with your springs and you should be fine.

Which rear springs do you have?
