Had a member with a autoride truck wanted it to handle and ride great so I set him up with my ultimate cornering package here
http://www.tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=180

Overall hes very happy with the results. Truck to him feels so much more stable and just got rid of the sway which he hated before. This is the same kit I put on my escalade which my wife drives daily and its a night and day difference on cornering. Anyother questions just hollar and just a few pics for you guys to look at

Is this the mount the shock on the lower part of the lower control arm trick?

Figured I'd add to this thread and confirm. I recently swapped out the rear Belltech shock relocation brackets on my 08 Suburban LTZ / Autoride with the DJM shock relocation brackets. I also added the DJM lower trailing arm relocation brackets and WOW... I really noticed a big difference with not only the suspension control in while cornering but the stability under straight-line acceleration at WOT. It's tight. I highly recommend you have Tony send you the DJM rear hardware kit if you're running the 2-3/4 kit. On a side note, I didn't have to use the shorter DJM sway bar end links as I have hotchkis front and rear sways and the rear end links are already shorter and the sway bar is designed in such a manner that I couldn't get the end links to work anyhow so I just kept the hotchkis end links and it's working well as designed.

One last note regarding solving the GM lean on the Suburban with Autoride and Tony's 2-3/4 kit. During swapping to the DJM rear cornering kit, I tested out removing the right rear spacer while leaving the driver rear spacer installed... I'll say no more that if you have a Suburban you must so this NOW!!! Truck is level and handles amazingly!

I think that's enough typing for now
