I did the same for my wife's LTZ and she hates the level ride. It had 3 inches of rake in it before I did the work and now it is completely level. Trying to find a way to lower the front or raise the rear by about 2 inches. Pucks in the back would probably be the cheapest option but then I'm...
As of right now, I'm just gonna stick with what I have. I started thinking about it more, and I don't want to drop the frontend down 3 inches, which is what the OEM springs would do. And then when I look at other springs, I have no idea how tall they would be. For instance, I started to look...
Gonna tighten everything down again and check the measurements. If the wife is still unhappy with it, I might think about getting a set of Bilstein 4600's and putting the factory springs on them and returning the Monroe's back to Amazon. Anyone run the 4600's on the front?
No they're not adjustable. However I have thought about swapping out the coils with the old ones I took out, but I don't know if I'm up for that job. I had to compress one of the coils to get the upper mounting plate rotated, and I was scared the compressor was gonna break and kill me.

Well Monroe support was less than helpful. They essentially refused to offer help or support because the strut is "not designed to replace magnetic ride suspension."
Threads on other message boards suggest that the struts will settle after 500-1000 miles. However, in those posts I never saw...
Any idea how long it will take these to "settle" to their new height? My wife doesn't like the extra height they added to the frontend. I've emailed Monroe to see what they have to say about the increased ride height. I've also started looking around to see if there's something else I should...
Spent pretty much most of the day doing the installation. Took about 6.5 hours, one trip to Autozone for a loaner tool, one smashed finger that nearly had me in tears, and more 4 letter words than I could count. But, it's done. Took it on a test drive and it feels great. Will ride on it a...
Well crap! I interpreted the message on their website as saying all Sierra's must have it, but it's not necessary for other vehicles. I've never altered anything in the suspension of my Tahoe so hopefully I'll be able to get by without it. If I get a warning message, I guess I'll already know...
I have an email and a voicemail in to afepower for more information but have not heard back from them yet. One thing that I'm confused about is the Xineering kit has two components for each wheel, shock simulator and ride height sensor. However, the afepower kit only has one. I've been in...
Just to keep the information updated.
Just spoke with the guys at Strutmasters. The kit does include the modules to bypass the computer. However, they are not plug and play components like the Xineering kit. He said I would have to splice them directly into the lines at each wheel. He was...
Looking at the Strutmasters kit, it doesn't look like it includes anything to simulate the electronic components like the Xineering kit. They have other kits that specifically state what is included to bypass the system, but this one does not state anything. The only mention is this "IN ORDER...
You said you "almost" went with the Strutmasters kit. What made you go with the Xineering solution instead? Was it because you wanted something more than stock height and performance?
Also looks like the Strutmasters kit comes with rear coils which the other options don't.
I also found...
They're definitely still there. I've been under the vehicle to verify that.
We bought the Tahoe a little over 2 years ago. Since then, we've built a detached garage that I do all of our car work in. I've learned a ton over the last two years and have been able to take care of everything...
Admittedly I didn't know too much about cars when we bought this one. Now I know just enough to be dangerous. I will definitely do more research next time as I just bought into the "LTZ is the top model so it must be better" mantra. Now I know. And oh yeah, I also have an LTZ Avalanche with...
Wow, so much information in those threads. Thanks for finding those.
At this point I'm leaning towards the Shocksims kit and Monroe's on all four corners, removing magneride and the air suspension. Not lowered or lifted and we don't do any towing. It's just a daily driver. Really wish there...
My wife's '15 Tahoe LTZ has gotten very "springy" lately. We feel every bump riding down the road now. It's not stiff at all. It's bouncy. It's so bouncy it feels like we're riding in a boat. I did the "push down on the bumper" test and it literally oscillates or bounces a few times until...
I know this is a really old thread, but I ran across it when searching for the same thing as the original poster. Just found this Youtube video that shows how to get to it. I haven't verified this yet, but it looks like it is what we are looking for.
Wow! Thanks for the information. Last night after checking all the harnesses under the seat I didn't bother checking the dash since none of them felt loose. However, when I cranked it up today the message was gone. I guess one of them was loose after all.
Looked under both seats and all wiring harnesses appear to be quite snug. Wasn't really sure which one I was looking for, but they all were pretty tight. What's next?
2010 Yukon XL Denali...get the "service air bag" message and the red air bag indicator light in the dash every time we crank it up. Hooked up OBDII and there are no codes at all, so I have no idea where to begin. Any thoughts?
Edit: Just realized I posted in wrong forum...can a mod please move?
