03 denali shock question

[Tribalbreak]

so i know my compressor is out and i know my shocks were leaking because before the pump kicked it was on all the time. so im thinking of going with the bilstein rears and compressor from arnotts... my question is, do i have air shocks in the front also? i have no clue and havent checked... i would assume that there would be an air hose running to it, but i have not noticed it... just a 2 wire sensor of some sort... any help would be appriciated

No air lines go to front. Just an elec. sensor on the top of the front for rebound purposes I believe.

Yes, front are not air shocks, but electronic. They supposedly adjust the ride electronically to match road conditions. Rears are also electronic AND air...the air part adjusts ride height depending on load.

thanks for the clear up guys, i think i will be replacing my pump and rears with the bilsteins from arnotts

 

[wade]

me too soon! Take pics of the work!

 

[DenaliAK]

Me three as soon as I can afford it. Whoever is first needs to report back and tell us how they work/ride compared to the others.

well hopefully i can pull some overtime and get the work done but i just had to put out a load of money to get my nali back on the road... so we will see how it goes, im currently running no functioning pump so my ride sucks

I've been w/out the compressor for over a month now. Thank God my shocks are holding their air and I haven't started sagging in the rear yet. I should be getting a decent chunk of money in about a month, and plan on using it to take care of the shocks and get HID's. Course, I also need winter tires, which is actually more practical, so that may come before the HID's....lol

my shocks been blown for months with no compressor and it only sags when I have my huge trailer on the truck.

 

[Tribalbreak]

same as wade... it only sags when i tow or have a full load of people... other than the ****** ride it sits normal hight
