Finished up in about an hour. Also swapped out my Belltech 5323 3" drop springs for Belltech 140-002 (Trailblazer) 5" drop springs.

Here's the helper bags I used. Air Lift Rear Air Spring Helper Bag Kit #60769

These can be used with any of the drop springs you get.




Here they are installed in the 5" drop springs. Even though they aren't perfectly round, they are fine. Once air goes inside them, they just about even out. A little hard getting them in, but they fit.




Spring installed...





And I ran the lines separately instead of T'ing them together. The kit gives you the option to do either. There are a couple reasons you separate them. One is you can easily get rid of the "chevy lean" were all gm SUVs lean to the driver side. It's because the gas tank is only on the drivers side. Another reason is when you turn a corner, the air doesn't move from one side to the other. It actually helps the suspension almost like a sway bar would.

I drilled holes in the rear bumper by the trailer hitch. I have a hitch closeout so it can't be seen normally.




and then with my hitch closeout on...
