[/COLOR]Well looks like the tb spring will fit in the rear. Right now my problem is if i let out of the rear airbags the ride suffers. Im hoping that with the lower sitting trailblazer spring and cutting the rear autoride links will get the bags to have as much air as it does now in turn giving a good ride when lowerd more.

Huh?

Shorter links = less air.

Longer links = more air.

If you put shorter springs in and do nothing to the links you have, you're going to get plenty of air in the shocks. Maybe too much air...

I have LED's through out my car, I think I used 42mm LED's (3 pair) for the dome lights, and a bunch of 194 LED lights for the rest (parking, license plate, under the mirrors) Also have 6000k head lights and fogs, and am awaiting my DRL bulbs.

this truck by far is the best 07 up gm suv ive ever done. The truck handles so good!!!

tonight i put in the del sphere spohn arms and just by doing that i feel the truck handles better.

Im going to try to do the upper ones once i get my welder back down the road

Stock piece was weak and stamped. The rubber bushigns on one side were already cracking.

Here is stock vs spohn

Tony will you be changing the length of your lower Del Sphere Spohn arms? I know that the Spohn panhard bar will need adjustment to center the rearend, but do the Lower arms need to be??? By the way your Escalade looking very tight.
