Well looks like the tb spring will fit in the rear. Right now my problem is if i let out of the rear airbags the ride suffers. Im hoping that with the lower sitting trailblazer spring and cutting the rear autoride links will get the bags to have as much air as it does now in turn giving a good ride when lowerd more.

14.25"

OOOOOweeeee. That truck is going to be sick! Ill need a whole bottle of Nyquil to get to sleep after seeing that.....

sorry guys been swamped with stuff. I ended up pulling the rear end to change fluid and it was horrible and all black and like many trucks gm has done 1 quart low on fluid. Changed it all up and put new fluid and then swapped in the trailblazer rear coils and came down 1/2 inch which im happy with. Ill have pics tomm when i get home from work.

Tony, can you please explain the "strut modification" (possibly with pics).
Interested in maybe going that route rather than changing the springs.

Thanks.

Tony outstanding work and beautiful truck. I tried to scan all the posts to see if i understand this right....you have rear djm springs but you want to lower it more so your looking into trailblazer springs? Also you have airlift bags installed am i correct on that??

i tried the trailblazer springs but put the belltechs in back last night liked the ride better. I will now get resistors to bypass the autoride and I will be doing the rear belltech sp shock. it should get the back down another 1.5 inches from where im at now.

So like the kit I ordered(3/5 drop). I dont have to cut dead coils to get lower,because the 4305's are right where I need to be. The TB springs must of been in the older kits you offered which required you to cut the dead coils if you had a lot of bounce or wanted to g lower?
