Escalade: Ground force kit

[Definition]

Quick question guys for new member...

I bought a "new" ground force kit of a guy on ebay a while back...2/3 to be exact with key, springs, and brackets for airride..

When I got it I never really bothered with it cause I was now wanting a 4/5 kit... Well to my questions.. I'm wanting to install it on my 04 ESV, and I noticed that new the kit comes with sway bar spacers???? Mine didn't, can I go without them??? Also.. the sheet with instructions on how the airride brackets go was gone aswell... Where do they go?? Does anyone have pictures or something??

Thanks in advance!!

Front or rear? What did they consist of? Shorter links are preferred for the rear if you drop the truck 4" or more. There is only about 1/2" of difference in length and it won't handle much differently once the angle is corrected.

Also.. the sheet with instructions on how the airride brackets go was gone aswell... Where do they go?? Does anyone have pictures or something??

Look on the last page of these instructions for detailed information regarding the sensor links

Thanks a lot.

This is very useful.... One quick question though... Can I trim the existing sensors? My kit came with brackets for the autoride.. What is easier...?

 

[Max]

Trim them with a grinder.

Thanks man if I would have known all this I would have just bought springs and torsion keys instead of looking for a kit with airride brackets.... I didn't look for this site till I ran into problems though....

Shock extensions are critical on the autoride trucks as well, otherwise the rear will sit quite a bit higher.

I don't know much about lowering a truck..much less this one.. but I'm managed to change the torsion keys, switched out the springs and grind down the sensors.. Haven't drove the truck cause I don't know where this goes... Is this the shock extender?? If so where do they go??

I remember seeing those when I did my 03 Denali.. Let me see if I got any pics..

Thanks man, that's what I thought they were for.. So I got my keys in and springs in and grinded the the sensors... Is that all I need, I don't have any lights on the dash as of yet... Runs good

One more question... I screwed the torsion keys up to factory but didn't like it so I let it down about an inch does it matter?? Can I ride like that?? One more question...is there anything else I can do to the back to get an inch more without changing out anything???
