I need to level her out.

[chevync]

I want to level the caddy and keep the airride, what do I need to do?

Looks like someone kicked it in the ass and it never came back down.lol

You can modify the ride height links so when it airs up, it stops at the height you want it. They look like this one of mine which has been shortened for my lowered '02 Denali. Yours will be longer. They can be accessed with the rear wheels removed, you'll see them towards the front of the wheel well. Just take some threaded rod the same diameter and thread as what's in there now and you'll have to use your best guess and experiment until it ends up sitting where you want it. Pry out on the plastic ball ends and they pop off, just be careful. Cut the new rod with a Dremel or whatever you have.Unfortunately there's no formula that I know of that would give you an exact length that correlates to your finished height and you have to pull the wheels off each time to try a set. Mine are 2 1/2" c-c on the ball ends but I'm sitting way low. Also, you need to reset the height each time by pulling an air line and letting it drop all the way down, then start it up and let it air up. The air lines have a clip you pull and they pop off. It's a pain in the ass but that's the only way I found to do this. I lowered mine 4" in the rear but the auto ride just raised it back up until I did this. Looking at yours, I'd try shortening the links by 1/2" and see where it ends up at.

The one in the picture is too short; 2 1/2" works fine and won't come out when I lift the truck. You need one way longer anyway. Cost is about $2.00 for the rod plus the time to do it. Even with that kit there's shortened links. That Belltech kit is what I have as well and all they provided me was the threaded rods ( no plastic ball ends) but they were too long so I just made my own. If you want to lower the whole rig though Tony will set you up. This is mine with the Belltech rear kit and spindles in the front.

Hi Im new here, so did you disable your autoride? Also, thats the nicest color I've seen on a Denali. Is it liquid vinyl?

My autoride is still functional. I tow a trailer occasionally so that was important to me. The color is stock GM, Pewter Metallic.

I'm currently adapting my Autoride to the lowered stance. 4" coils in the rear and DJM LCA's up front. How much did you cut off the front sensor rods?

 

[NORCAL SS]

You don't need to cut fronts

 

[Ghostl7]

You don't need to cut fronts

My stock rods are way too long, I'll have to chop them a tad.

 

[NORCAL SS]

Rear rod you chop. Front won't change height

 

[Ghostl7]

I chopped the rears, maybe 3" overall length but the front made the sensor max out in the up position. This, in my thinking, would confuse the computer and cause the shock to constantly be stiffened. Also, how are people running stock front shocks on a 4" drop. Mine are just way to big.

Get rid of those djm shocks belltechs ride way you better

Or make the stock shocks work haha, I'm tired of short shocks. I'm working on that currently. Ordered dodge 3500 shock brackets that will mount on top of existing shock mount

That is an interesting option. I look forward to seeing how it works out for you!

Huh. I just might try this, and trim the bump stops a bit.

Roughly what kind of ride height does this end up being? Mine is already a little lower then most thanks to the platinum package afaik. Maybe I should measure the links.
