07Burb’s 2013 LTZ Burb Thread

[07Burb]

Parts for a mild drop purchased. Going with Belltech coilovers for the front and McGaughy springs for the rear. Goal is a 1/2 to 2/2 drop. Should be just about perfect for what I’m going for. I was at 3/5 with my 07 and was super tired of the issues that came with that by the time I sold that rig so don’t want to repeat that again. Good thing with these coilovers is I can adjust ride height up or down so I’m not “married” to a specific set up if I want to change things.

Hoping these arrive next week and I’ll install them soon after that. Shouldn’t take more than a few hours to accomplish.

Should fit well with everything @Fosscore already had going with her. Subtle is the name of the game.

Surprisingly my parts should arrive by Friday according to tracking. Kinda surprised considering how long it takes most stuff to arrive these days

I would like a 1/2 drop on mine but to also retain al the factory suspension systems like the air and auto ride... Dreams...

Yeah that’s another reason I’m staying pretty mild so that I can keep my autoride.

Aren’t those “dumb” front struts?

Yes. Coilovers. I was talking about the rear auto ride. Do you have some kind of fanciness in the front???

I did a 2/4 drop on my 02 and retained auto level. I just had to cut threaded rods and try several lengths to get it to where it would just barely lift it back up to where I wanted. Then once set, it consistently keeps it at that exact height no matter the load. I was running 26’s for a long time with barely any fender clearance and at one point I did a trip with 7 people in it with a load of gear. Also hauled a heavy trailer a few times. Never scraped a tire. I’m running 22’s now with a bit more clearance and the system still performs perfect.
