Lowering Kit w/ Autoride

[gobig77]

New here, 1st post. Have an 01 Tahoe LTAutoride with the leveling suspension in the rear, I want to do a 2/3 drop and was wondering what affect that will have on the autoride, do I need a special kit or what? Any suggestions and links would be appreciated. Looking for a good price, but nothing too cheap for good functionality.

If Anyone was interested I have:
01 Tahoe LT Autoride
all black, debadged no moulding.
Street Scenes SS bumper on the front and roll pan on the back

Python 990 2way alarm remote start
Other odds and ends (have some ss badges i might put on)

Future mods:

cool, post up some pics.

Welcome to the site as well.

If you look at the Eibach 2/3 kit, it comes with new rods, that 'trick' the system when you lower it. You will need two new rear shocks, and shock relocators. You can see my photos, used that system on my 03.

why would you need 2 new rear shocks to retain the auto ride with 2/3?

Zac, you are correct, I should have clarified more, mine did not have autoride, autoride you can use the shortened pins in the kit, any NON autoride, you will need to replace the rear shocks to get optimum drop.
