Anyone have pics with just the REAR lowered?

[mdtahoe]

I have thought about cutting 1" off a rear coil. I have not looked to see if it was even possible, not really sure if I want to hack my truck up like that.

Removing the spring isolators may be a better option... not sure how that would affect the ride though. JK did this mod and I'm considering doing so too...

I did the same mod, removed the spring isolators...got me maybe a 1/2in. at best but I used this mod to correct the ride height. On older hoes, the driver side is lower than the passengar side. Reason is debatable but I added more rubber to the spring on the driver side to lift it slightly.

Incidentally, what exactly does "autoride" (which I have) do to level the truck when it's moving at speed? Does it drop the rear down a SET amount, or does it drop it down to whatever makes it level? (Or, just more level? Or, does it drop the entire truck down?) I ask because I'm wondering how it function with a drop kit. If the truck is leveled through a drop kit, will the autoride still try to drop the truck? Or, will it sense that it doesn't need to?

NFamous -- Had no idea that the answer to the "K" thing was that involved. Dang. Well, good for you!

For what it matters when I installed the Pedders rear springs I pulled the isolators.....

Autoride uses sensors at all four wheels to determine when the car is riding low in the rear and adds air to the rear shocks to pump it back up to level. Only the rear shocks are set up to rise from the compressor out back so it can only raise the rear, not lower the front.

If you drop your truck, you need to adjust the rods on the sensors. Some kits come w/new rods, others tell you how to adjust/bend them.

Thanks. So, you didn't lower the front at all? And did you, in fact, get 3.5" of drop in the rear, or did you get less (or more)? How is the ride?

Anymore full side shots? Thanks!

Hey, the front is not lowered yet but will be as of probably tomorrow. The rear Pedders drop is meant to lower the rear about 3.25", but w/o spring isolators I think I'm pulling about a 3.5" rear drop.
The ride is good, feels just about stock smoothness wise!
