Need help with autoride

[taron11]

I have 2002 Yukon Denali with Autoride. My Compressor and rear shocks have failed, so I want to replace with standard shocks. I have 26s (305/30/26)
on and they scrub in front due to failed autoride system. I want to raise the truck, but not sure how much and which shocks/struts/coils to use?

fabtech, superlift, procomp have 6" lifts that utilize the factory rear shocks and skyjacker has a 3"... anyway you look at it everybody says anything over 4" you have to change the front drive shaft AWD or 4WD....

SUPERLIFT

"does not require cutting the front diff mount" keeps factory steering geometry as well as cv angles. But they say your need to replace the front driveshaft....
"Kit includes front dual shock mounting brackets and 6 shocks with yellow boots (2000 - 06 Tahoe / Yukon have 4 shocks and boots and utilizes stock rear shocks)."


ProComp

doesn't really give any info on this


FABTECH

this kit requires trimming of the front diff (you have to trim a few boss's off and CUT THE FRONT MOUNT OFF and install a new bolt-on mount). BUTTTTTTT by doing this allows the use of factory front drive shaft in 4WD models idk about the damn Denali's though.
One problem with this.... I have installed this kit in the past and it only drops the Front Diff 3" this is that kit you have the steep angles on the cv axles and if you do off-roading it blows the cvs apart so your going to want to buy some spare cv axles lol!!!!
We nicknamed this the pretty boy lift lol!!! It's the cheapest out of the big name brands but its really only made for lifting for looks and city driving!!!

SkyJacker

These are designed for the autoride SUVs for people not wanting much lift and don't want to hassle with the driveshaft in the front.

Me, personally I'm doing SuperLift with no expenses spared I'm doing it right. New ball joints, inner and outer tie-rods, pitman and idle arms, and installing the Superlift front drive shaft it allows more flex with the suspension and supposed to delete the vibration on highway speeds. Also I'm installing the steering stabilizer to help on the excessive wear to the components....

I hope this helps any lol

I'm getting ready to replace my autoride with Bilstein 5100 shocks, z71 rear springs, and levling kit. Sounds to me, the leveling kit would be what you want. Lift keys and rear coil spring spacers along with new shocks. It will raise the front 2.5-3" and depending on spacer size on the rear. I'm putting 2" spacers in the rear. I'll need this to run the 33" tires.
