need advise since factory airride out

[biggb20042001]

Well on my 04 Yukon Denali the "Service Ride Control" is on and i took to get checked out and need new shocks and compressor for the rear. Now I'm kinda stuck on what to do cause I was planning on doing a 2 3/4 drop and now I have to deal with this issue. Can anyone advise me on what to do.

Decide if you want to run the autoride equipment with the drop. If so, contact Arnott industries. If not, just get some new shocks to go with the drop kit.

I just dropped my 04 Tahoe with a 3/5 kit two weeks ago and in the process I disabled the factory autoride. I am super happy with the results and the ride quality. It is VERY easy to disable the autoride without any problems and swap in some new decent shocks. Check out my pics and you can see the results and if your interested in details on what I have installed just send me a pm.

well i looked into the arnott inc reman and the prices look alot better than dealership. anyone have them installed? also i plan on putting 26'' wheels and doing the 2 3/4 drop.

It will be cheaper to lower it and disable the system then replace it.

my 2/3-4 kit will be fine along with the belltech street performance shocks also its very easy to disable the autoride set up.

ill shoot you a pm.

Hey Tony, could you PM me the info on disabling the autoride? I'm considering doing the same, and have been closely watching this thread.

Also, if i keep the autoride, how will the ride compare to normal shocks if autoride is disabled?

Did the Arnott reman'd ones along with a new compressor--found a package deal from Arnott via ebay. I installed them a few months ago and have had zero issues.

so you konw arnott doesnt fix anything inside just outside bag is changed if you google it people were upset that internals are not even touched.

well if you disable autoride you will need to get new shocks. The kit set up i sell on here with the belltech sp shocks rides great.

ill shoot you a pm

What if you don't want to do any lowering. My air ride is shot and have no need for it

Tony, another question for you. If i were to disable the autoride, and just swap the rear shocks for now, will i have any drivability issues since i'll still have autoride shocks in the front? Or can i leave the rear shocks for time being? sorry, im just trying to get things sorted out before i make suspension changes, i really dont want to have a sucky ride so i want to make the right decision.


also, is this the kit you were referring to? - http://www.tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=91

well i think i'm just gonna go back with factory parts but haven't decided yet. i did consider arnott but don't like the information i found out. monroe has specialty built shocks that are direct bolt on but haven't found any info on if they're good or not. does anyone here run the monroe 40034?

I ran them before I removed the autoride equipment on my truck. I liked them, they were just like the OE stuff.

 

[biggb20042001]

well i decided to go with the monroe 40034. they are a direct replacement of the factory air ride shocks but without that expensive delearship price. i also got the arnott compressor. everything is hooked up and i been riding for 2 weeks and what a difference i can feel. back to the ride im so use to feeling. next step is doing my front shocks with the monroe 40044 and getting a 2 3/4 dropkit.
