No just keep track of the angle the bracket is at and lengthen your autoride shocks accordingly.

I went back to 22's and stock height for the ride (which the 22's ride better surprisingly). I drive a lot

Did you have vibration issues. I have steered away from lifting my 07 any because I have read so much about vibrations and needing spcial drive shafts.

The yukon had a bad condition report so that fell through looks like tahoe it is

Specifics on what gave it a bad report?

No vibrations here. That's typically affected on the 4-6"+ lifts.

I have no idea. When dealers buy whole sale thats all they have to go off of before they actually pay for the vehicle so he pretty much sticks to the condition report.

So you didn't go see it yourself? I would still go look.

I'm not sure why people freak out over the rear air suspension. Mine were blown when I bought my Denali @118k miles. For about $590 and about an hour of my time I swapped out the two rear air shocks with reman Arnott's that come with the upgraded Goodyear rubber and a new air compressor. Has worked flawlessly ever since and seriously maybe the easiest work I've ever done on a vehicle. Was actually easier than changing the damn plugs and wires on this vehicle!

Long story short - don't be afraid of the rear air suspension, it's an easy fix and will only cost a ton if you take to a dealer. You can even buy two new shocks for like $450 total on Amazon but I wanted the upgraded rubber since that was a common failure point and I tie a 7000lb 25 foot Mastercraft boat ..

Is there a guide or write up on how to do this? I tried searching and couldn't find anything.

I used this one when I did mine: http://chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php?topic=142025.0;all

Good luck.

That's a great guide! I just used this video from Arnott that shows how to swap them. I can't remember if I found a guide for the air compressor, but it was super easy. I think three bolts and disconnect two air lines and the relief line running up by the fuel filler. Very very easy.
