How To: Setup Auto Ride for Lifts

[vinnyray]

I picked up a 10x24 threaded rod at Lowes, cost about $2.25 for 3'. I pulled the ends off of the original rod, I had to twist slightly to break it loose then pull it off. I twisted the first one too much and the threaded rod didn't hold when I put it in, so I added a hose clamp for insurance. After reinstalling the ends I hit it with some rustoleum.

I know this thread is about lifts, but are there any options for 2" front/1" rear leveling kits that don't mess with Magneride and Autoride? I have an 09 LTZ.

There are no leveling kits that don't involve messing with the auto ride. You have to do something with it no matter what you do either lowering or lifting.

I have no problem with extending the rods for auto ride, if that's what's necessary for a rear spacer. How would the front level work though, with the magneride?

Buy whatever the cheapest level kit is for front and rear. Front I recommend lower strut spacer for ease of install. Need rear shock extensions. Then get fts rod spacers. Cut the rods and adjust them back to stock position. Think your question is explained in this thread from the beginning.

Thanks man. Yeah, I just spent the last half hour reading this thread and various others about leveling auto-ride trucks. Looks like the CCM kit has no issues with auto-ride.

Here are the FTS ride height rod extensions. You cut the stock rods then lock in the desired position with set screws. They come two in a bag as a set.

You have to call Full Throttle Suspension and order them over the phone as far as I know.
