Improve Towing

[jack2448]

I have a 2005 Chevy Suburban LT with Autoride and has the towing package. I have a travel trailer I tow that lowers the rear quite a bit. I am wondering what I can do to improve not only the ride height while towing. Does someone make HD rear air shocks?

Helper bags.
Small portable compressor to fill them when needed.
Trucool trans cooler.
Vette servo
billet 4th servo


Go tow as much as you want. wont hurt sheet with that build.

Just curious, I've been pondering doing this as I'll be doing some trans work in the very near future.
Why not just replace the whole assembly with a complete billet assembly instead of replacing some of the parts?

 

[ezdaar]

Vette servo is 50% more apply pressure.
Vs
Billet is aprox 70% more.

That makes for a harsh 1-2 shift vs the vette servo.

Harsh as in neck snapping?
Would that be under all conditions of driving or just under WOT?

It would be like this...

At all times.

All billet,
Stop sign, vrooooooom bang into second, vroooooooom bang into third.

Vette and billet od,
Stop sign , vrooooooooom shift nice and firm into second, vroooooooom nice and form into third.

Haha, great explanation.

I'll look into both servo and billet OD.

my service sucks

I am thinking of getting a bigger boat. Probably doing this exact upgrade if we decide to pull the trigger.

From the research I've done, its a good mod regardless. Less wear and tear on the trans = longer happier trans
