I recently traded in my 2013 Suburban LTZ for a new body style suburban. I have always loved the Cocoa leather interiors on the new trucks and finally found one locally!

I really would like to lower is a bit, if not just the rear to make it sit more level. Is there a way to adjust the air ride links in the front to get an inch or so lower without doing any drastic suspension mods?

I figured I would get Norcal SS rear spring kit for the rear to lower it 2-3 inches or so. If there are members that have a suburban with an inch in front and a 2-3 in the back I would appreciate some pictures to give me an idea.

Just picked it up last night and now my mind is racing with all the little mods I want to do. I found the hack for making the center console charge, wanted color matched mirror caps, it doesn't end!

Congrats. Very nice looking.
Thanks man, only had it a day already took the center console apart and did the iPhone charging mod. I was never meant to keep anything new without touching it!

Tony,

Can you tell me what I need to use in the kit for the white Escalade rear picture that you sent. Should be about 2” I am guessing, so would I use the spring spacer?

What about the auto ride link length?

The kit should be here this Wednesday for me to install next weekend.

Thanks

Lowered the rear tonight. Took me a little over an hour taking my time. It is about 2” lower on drivers side and 1.75” on passenger. I will drive it around and see if that stays consistent. If not, i’ll Have to search what I need to do to get another .25” on the passenger side. Lengthen or shorten the auto ride rod??

My front measures 34.75” and the rear is 35.125” (D) and 35.375” (P)

Before the rear was around 37”

Got the front grill, eyebrows, and mirror caps painted at a local shop this past week. Love the look of the Burban now. Reminds me of the new RST suburban coming out this year.
