Rear lift on a auto ride LTZ

[silverlx]

The Bilstein 5100 front shocks lift the front end 1.75" if you install them with the spacers they came with.
That could be your issue.

There are a couple different height settings, I have it set at factory height and its still got a lift.

I guess what I'm getting at is that you didn't replace the front struts with autoride struts, correct? This might be the problem with your setup. I'm no expert in autoride, but I do know that autoride is for all four corners, not just the rear. If you put a non autoride strut in the front, I think this is going to effect the entire system.[/

The front struts/shocks only have the auto dampening. The rears have the air leveling system. The only difference in the Bilstein V the factory struts is the auto dampening feature. They should allow the truck to sit at factory spec height, at least according to Bilstein, that's why I'm puzzled...

so could i run the fabtech front spindles with a 2 inch rear spacer?

I just installed the rear 1.5 " spacers. All was good for about 24 hours and now I get te service suspension light. Any ideas?

Hmmmm that's odd. I have rear 1.5 spacers and an LTZ with AutoRide and no lights on dash... Weird.

Do u have a ccm kit?
I'm from lafayette and saw you the other day on Ambassador. Clean looking avalanche

Nope the CCM kit is 2.5/1 -- I have the TGC 2.5 up front and a 1.5 rear billet spacer in the back. I needed more then 1" in the rear to get leveled since I have an LTZ and they sit lower in the rear due to the AutoRide rear shocks.

Haha awesome thanks. I was wondering if you were from this area when I saw your last name.

I have a ccm kit im waiting to put on and I'm ok with the 2.5/1 because I want a little bit of cali. Who did the work on your avalanche?

 

[felixgun]

A mobile mechanic in Denver Colorado did mine. I was there for a year for work and just moved back to Lafayette to work in the Gulf.

I dropped mine off at the shop this morning and I have to call when they open at 9. The CCM kit is in the back and they said they'd install it but we're saying they dont normally put the kit on auto ride vehicles so I seriously doubt they'll put the back on.
