Auto ride again

[Jeremy the 3]

Hi guys, I have an 03 yukon xl denali 6.0. The auto level has been shot for a year now. We'll I just bought a 22 foot camper and need to swap out the auto ride for Springs and shocks. I don't want to deal with the expense of the auto ride.
I guess the main question I have is are all the mounting points the same from the air shocks to conventional shocks and spring perches the same? Most of the parts I find say "Except z55 auto ride". I also saw a post on here from the other day but wasn't sure if those outlined parts would match up with my truck.

They say they don't work with the autoride is because of the autoride. Just use factory shocks for a non autoride. Disable the Autoride (disconnect battery, pull the "rtd" fuse in the under hood fuse panel, connect the battery.)

You'll need different springs for the rear also. The ones you have are meant to be used in conjunction with air shocks and are real soft. I believe you need Z71 springs. Then if you're towing you'll also need helper air bags to go inside the Z71 springs. Hit up Tony @ tbssowners.com with a PM and he can set you up with the bags and some advice.

I didn't swap the coils and and used the rcx kit for non z71. Had a 1" coil spacer and key's. Sure it didn't sit as high but still deleted the autoride and replaced with rough country shocks and disabled the system.









Before the lift, with disabled Autoride and cheap Monroe shocks.
