going to say no. the rear would need the autoride bars bent, and the front the same thing, its not simply a bolt on kit. Autoride is what separates him from the rest.

So are there autoride rods that need to be bent in the front on my 08 LTZ?

im not entirely sure, i just know the fronts have the autoride struts.

If you use a spindle, no, because you aren't changing anything other than raising the level that the wheel hub is mounted at, not the actual geometry of the front suspension.

Chris -- There ARE autoride links up front, but the jury is still out on whether they need to be bent/replaced if you lower the front. Only the rear gets raised by the compressor, and so I haven't been convinced that the front links need to be altered. But some folks DO alter the fronts when they lower the front.


As for the OP's question, I'm going to back Robbie on this one. If you put springs on the front struts of an autoride truck without doing anything else to it, you're going to have the front shocks riding on 2" less travel. What happens when you compress the shock from there? You're going to ruin the shock after bottoming it out a few times, I'd say.
