Lifted with Auto Ride

[OilfieldTrash78]

Who here has done it, and what kit did you use?

 

[Tregs]

I ordered my kit from suspension maxx. I talked to several shops who told me they didn't know of a product that would lift the rear and keep the auto ride intact. Larry at suspension maxx was easy to deal with and knew exactly what I needed.
It's scheduled to arrive via UPS today.
I have an SLT with autoride, but no magneride.

I plan to install it today or tomorrow.

Yes, please!! Also, do you know which kit you went with?

 

[Tregs]

2.5" Front - SMXGM725

2" Autoride Rear - SMX15200M

Rear Shock extender - SMXHDSKEX

Currently, my front fender is 36" off the ground and my rear quarter is 37". I'm hoping this combination will decrease the rake to .5"
I want it to look level or very slightly higher in the back.

Thanks Tregs. I just did a 2.5/1.5 from Summit Performance on my Sub with autoride this weekend and it came out 37.5 and 38.25. no problems with autoride and it only cost 82 bucks.

I finished mine this weekend too, but you got off cheaper than I did.
I went with the 2.5" / 2" from suspension maxx. I also installed the rear shock extenders and autoride brackets. The rear was more involved than I thought, but nothing terrible.

My front is now at 38.75"and the rear is 39.25"

Im happy with it and the CV angles aren't as bad as I imagined. The ride is as good as stock from what I can tell.
I took it to the alignment shop today and they trued it with no problems. It drives straight and tight.

Not sure, been a while since I measured... I will try to get some later.

Tregs, I have to ask, no other items needed? Shock extensions etc??? Where did you buy your kit, brand name?

I spoke with Dave this morning at Summit Performance and he confirmed this kit to work on Autoride Z55 suspensions, so I placed my order. I will post back when kit is installed.

I am so keeping my fingers crossed that this kit works...

 

[InTruckDesign]

What are you fender measurements?

Sorry for the delay,
Front-39.5"
Back-40.5"

The rear springs have settled some since I measured it when I put the kit on over a year ago. So now only 1" difference.

Well so far so good. My 2013 Avalanche LTZ with Z55 Autoride is now dressed in a level-lift kit from Summit Performance, kit SKU: 121915219209 for the following:

AVALANCHE TAHOE YUKON 2.5" FRONT+1.0"'REAR CH2.5T+CC1.0R

Dealer did my brakes and she is now sitting on the ground awaiting a front end alignment. They will test drive after the alignment tomorrow and report the finding to me.
KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED.

This pic is the night I bought my AV, with stock 20" wheels and 275 60 R20 tires.

Here is after the level lift was installed, moving up to stock 20" wheels with 275 65 R 20 tires, 33" tall..
