    How To: Setup Auto Ride for Lifts

    I don’t have experience with lifted GMs but from what I do know I would think you could use rear lift springs then you’d have to install rear shock lowering (upper) and/or raising (lower) mounts to match the lift. The. You’ll have to lengthen the ride height adjusters to match. It may be a bit...

    This thread helped me figure out my issue with my 04 Escalade. Thank you It’s new to me and modified but I didn’t know how. Turns out the rear springs were replaced with some kind of aftermarket (RAG on the spring??) The ass was sagging and even worse when towing. The air pump came on and...

    Boosting stock rear bags?

    Just a basic search leads me to believe these aren’t stock...made for a lowered truck? Doesn’t seem very low. What is stock ground to fender??

    Boosting stock rear bags?

    Boosting stock rear bags?

    I thought this would be a good place: My ‘04 esky seems a bit sagged in the rear. Bags and compressor test good. Is there a way to make the rear pump higher? So a way to adjust or “trick” the rear compressor to bring it up higher?

    ‘04 Escalade - replacing factory Bose headunit, retain sub?

    New to me '04 Esky 6.0 with a Magnuson blower and Corsa cat back...too damn loud! haha I know I sound old but with a vehicle like this for my DD I want quiet and refined. The Corsa is just plain loud at anything over idle. Its a like-new exhaust so I'd rather not hack it apart and I need to...

    ‘04 Escalade - replacing factory Bose headunit, retain sub?

    Is the typical 20w rms you get from a headunit enough to power the Bose speakers? Does this also power the sub?
