At what point do you need to eliminate autoride

[01yukonslt]

Hey guys just starting to look into lowering my yukon since i got it back.. it has factory autoride and im wondering exactly how low can i go before i run into issues and need to eliminate the autoride and just go to standard shocks. i want to go as low as possible and if i must eliminate it i will.

also would like to know this, and how much different is the ride with lowered/shocks compared to stock/autoride?

Any lower then 3.5 rear spring needs new shocks or ride suffers

so then you would need to disengage autoride im sure. is it as easy as pulling the rtd fuse and its done?

this is some good info for me later on. but when i bought my hoe the fuse was already pulled

My 03 Tahoe has autoride, but I got the Service Ride Control on my dash and it hasn't worked for a while. I was wondering what are the benefits of the air suspension? I don't tow anything and I never really carry anything in my car usually, other then myself. Is it better to just go to a set of Blisten's and would I notice any difference in everyday driving?

You could pull the fuse(relay) or take some of the system out to sell unless you plan to replace for resale

I don't have air ride but I have had vehicles with air shocks and they do provide a smooth ride. If yours isn't working buy some bilsteins or Belltech street performance.

Mine was ok up to 4" but I had to build autoride links. Rode real nice but I had to go lower
