Autoride is crazy. 39.5 from ground to fenderlip STOCK in rear. Going to need 2 inch front and 6 rear to sit level lol

I wonder if it's possible to reprogram the auto ride to leave the rear lower so it looks level?

Would like to see one leveled.

Rear lines still seem so choppy. No flow. Imo. Like the front

What's the solution for dropping the rear on the new standard leaf sprung truck? Shackle?

no leaf springs... all of them are springs like 00-14

Suspension, front coil-over-shock
Suspension, rear multi-link with coil springs


They changed their mind and never actually went through with leafs (thank god)

You are both incorrect , as a matter of fact they use Covalent Bonds :challenge:

:lol:

Go build a Tahoe. Click on compare Compare Trims Side-by-Side and then click on mechanical. All 3 come with coils and springs. Same when building a Yukon.

I measured today on my SLT with factory 20s and trailer package (has rear air suspension) and it is measuring 38 in the rear and 36.5 in the front.

FYI mine is an XL which might explain the lower height.

You would think they would have different springs for each but I guess not.
