you can do it just will have to remove the fuse to get a full drop. WITh the autoride trucks i do with the djm tb 4 inch spring the stock shocks are to long so i pull the shocks out and pull the fuse out in the eng. comp and put non autoride shocks in and its fine.

so its just an easy swap.. take out the autoride shocks and put in some bilstein shocks..? do you remove all air ride parts compressor etc..? as for ride quality is it pretty similar..? i understand the sacrafice for a lower ride but i dont want a bouncy honda ride..

I disconnected my negative battery cable for a few minutes and then pulled the RTD fuse located in the underhood fuse panel, no lights for me and the compressor no longer kicks on once the truck is started.

I didn't get that lucky. Tried that and still get a service suspension message.
