    2.5/1 level Rear end sagging

    Ok, do the bags on the air shocks have air in them, or does it rise during initial start up? Also might want to check your leveling vales on each side. Located on the trailing arms. Thinking if the compressor works, and the shocks get air, maybe the leveling valves aren't working properly...

    Can you hear the compressor? It was noticeable during the start up on mine. Could start it up and just get under and feel if the air shocks are firm or not.

    My guess is you have failing air ride shocks and or compressor. There is no way the front changes in height, but the rear could if the air ride system is failing,

    Z55 Delete planning

    I never installed the resistors. So I can't help you, I just reset my service light every time I start it up. I left everything unplugged and zip tied out of the way. I would think going the Ebay route would be better cost wise, even if they fail after a year or 2, cheaper then the bypass...

    I would buy stock front strut springs, and the Z71 rear springs. I have all the part numbers I used listed here. Post #15 Only because I don't know the difference between the Non-Z55 and the Z55 Strut springs.

    Yes that would accomplish it. And I agree on stiffening up the front sway. Good luck!

    1.) Preload means the amount of pressure the strut spring is giving against the strut body itself. More preload will increase stiffness/height, and vice versa. On the bilstien design it will increase the lift by increasing preload. 2.) I'd use matching, front and rear shocks/struts if I was...

    Pre-Loaded Strut/Spring : Parts to Make My Own

    Yeah I added them for towing, as I haul a 10k lb dump trailer and my 32ft camper (6000lbs) on a regular basis. I'd say if you don't tow, then skip that part. But the one time you hook up to something, and if it's heavy you'll wish you had them, ass down, face up. It was easy to install them...

    Anybody installed these headlights already?

    My HID conversions have been great, I had them make them so I have 2 bright bulbs, the factory brights along with the HID's on bright. When someone flashes me the brights when I'm on dim I get excited...!!! They are absolutely blinding!!! LED bright along with the HID. On driving or dim they are...

    Nope I get it... I had the same thought about an old 86 toyota pickup I had for years. Put the Bilstein's on and they were pretty stiff. Different story on these tanks we drive!!!

    You'd be in love with these Bilstien's. My wife loved the ride in stock form, but she likes it even better now. I'd never go back at this point. These struts along with the small amount of added preload make it corner great. Granted I'm lifted, 2.75 in front and 2in in the rear, the body roll...
