lifting with Auto Ride

[01Konvict]

Yes I've pulled several springs out the Denali and escalades. You can tell by counting the coil turns. The higher number are the z71 springs. Reason why z71/Denali/esky all have higher tow ratings.

You think a set of new ones will bring it up any? If not I can always get back in the computer to see if I can try to recalibrate it to set itself higher upon ignition.

It's possible but did your air compressor kick on almost every time you started the truck? I think your rear ride height sensors are off. Fix the sensor angle to stock and lift from air shock will occur.

Air compressor comes on each time it fires up, for about 6 to 8 seconds. If the sensors are off, is there a descriptive and easy way to adjust them at each unit? Or does this need to be done through the computer?

Yes see this thread and get FTS ride height spacers then adjust with set screws. The rear arm should be parallel with the frame, about 10 degrees down from 90 degrees horizontal.

That all makes sense, do you have a picture of the rear extensions installed? I guess it's as simple of getting them on, extending them slightly each side to make sure they even, they adjusting them again the same amount for the lift?

 

[01Konvict]

You got the idea! Just make them even or very close. The system doesn't need them perfect. You can adjust them as needed. Yeah I'm slacking on the pics. Will get some this weekend.

You have the link to the FTS extentions?
