Autoride Lowering Question

[One]

Looking to drop my LTZ. Asked the local wheel/suspension shop, about dropping it, and they said they couldn't do anything due to the auto ride. I know you can drop it regardless of auto ride or not. Just wanted some input, as I have no knowledge of suspension. I know there are belltech kits out there, but I have no idea what I would need. Detailed response please. Thanks in advance.

I just bought a new escalade and will be installing the same kit in that. Ive been using that drop kit on 07 up trucks since late 06 and the autoride still wroks fine.

IN front is spindles so nothing changes on shock stroke

In rear the kit I sell has
drop springs
new shorter autoride links (so system doesnt keep airing up)
rear shock extenders (needed to shocks dont get damaged and lets the entire autoride rear shock work right)
also has 1 inch spacers if you want to keep a little rake on the truck


Anything else just ask. I not only sell the items but also install them so can help you either way 24/7 im around to help.

Detailed response? Have you read ANY of the posts in this section? I see you're new... But, it's all right here.

In a nutshell:

1. The local shop doesn't know what it's talking about.
2. Order the Belltech 2/3 kit from Tony and call it a day.

Ditto. I was going to say to go somewhere else on top of that.

Yep. I was implying that with #1, but probably should have stated it. Thanks!

 

[KMeloney]

Dang. We have to give detailed responses, then this guy never follows up...

KMeloney,
Your Tahoe looks nice. Did you lower both the front and back? I am about to put 22's on my LTZ and would like to drop it as well. Can you send me some pics of your ride so I can see if that is what I want? Thx!

Yes, lowered front and rear. Spindles in the front, springs in the rear. I'll send you some pics.

Thanks!

Kmeloney, send me a PM about your brakes...id like to know more where you got them etc etc...

He got them from Blackbear Performance (vendor on here). I run the same set and Tony (NorCalSS) just got them too, simply badass cannot sum it up well enough.

I am running a 2005 Denali with AutoRide but had to unhook all of it in order to do a 3/4 drop. I have DJM 3" LCA's in front on stock keys. I have 4" coils in back and DJM rear arm kit. I moved the sway bar like it asked and used DJM sway end links. I am trying my damnedest to get the AutoRide shocks to fit with this drop. It's so close but I am so far away. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Picture is to show the size difference.

 

[NORCAL SS]

you cant use the autoride anymore with the djm lowers. I have the correct belltech sp shocks for 135 shipped if you want to use them. Also hopefully in rear you got the djm shock extenders if not the autoride shocks will not work.

the djm fronts ride harsh

Tony is the kit I would need for an 07 Suburban 4wd LTZ with autoride? And I would use my stock struts in the front?
thanks,
