Just picked up an 02 air ride Tahoe. I love it! First thing I did was eliminate the computer pressure control on the power steering. My last Tahoe nearly killed me with that shit locking up and put me in a snowbank and over on my lid. (put her back on her feet and off she went)
None of the freeway speed wander all my other Subs and **'s had. This one had it the first day, but I wasn't trusting my life with the ******** power steering. The kit from GM is 19168825. It's worth it. Worth your life. $50. Do it. It steers down the road like a real truck.
I haven't had any time to research the suspension. Been busy with Dr.s and med issues from the rollover. Then playing katchup with a ****** shoulder and neck. Life. I want to keep the air ride. I don't care about the cost of the shocks or bags or whatever. My Arnage shocks are $1600 each, so I'm not too worried about price. What I need to know, is how can I beef up the suspension and keep the air ride? As some of you know, I haul exotics around the country on my tilt deck trailer. I visit all my internet friends whenever I can on these trips. Been a lot of fun.
11,900 lb capacity for now. 10 ply tires. I have torsion bar equalizers on the hitch along with anti sway bars. Hitch clamp to get rid of the rattling hitch.
What's a good system to augment the air ride to handle my trailer hitch load? Don't care if I need another compressor to run a separate system. I'm installing a good sized air compressor to fill flat tires from the trailer. I have a huge winch with a group 31 battery and a solar charger. I can add the alternator pretty easily if I need more juice. I want to keep the great ride when I'm unhitched, but have the ability to control the load without overstressing the air ride.
Suggestions?
