First thing in the AM I’ll be getting the lowering stuff thrown on the Burb. Plan is to get it done in the morning and be able to get an alignment in the afternoon but we’ll see how that goes. If not tomorrow then alignment on Tuesday at the latest.

Measurements are currently 35 1/2” up front and 36 1/2” out back. Both sides are within an 1/8” of each other. My goals are for the front to come down to 33 1/2 and the rear to be around 34 or so. I’ll definitely take pics. She’s going to look so fresh with her new stance.

First thing I’m tackling is these autoride rods because if this isn’t successful then it’s a show stopper as I was to retain autoride on the rear. I’ve got the rod off but these plastic ends are corroded on. I’ve got some PB Plaster soaking on them to see if they loosen up. I’m afraid to go too hulk on them with vice grip or something because I don’t want to destroy these plastic ends.

Any tips and tricks from the peanut gallery?

My 07 wasn’t autoride so it was a cake walk. This seems to be a bit more delicate lol

I think @Rocket Man messed with his on his 02 Denali when he lowered it. Hopefully he'll chime in.

Almost looks like they’re molded in or something

They will pull apart. Just takes a little effort.
