NORCAL'S $15 dollar 07+ strut mod

[Alex29573]

I get some Air out of the shocks but it doesn't want to go lower than 34 inches

its the springs holding it up. I had to do a truck over the weekend autoride and used my new springs and had to tack weld the rear springs on lower perch since they are so short and he wanted to keep the autoride. 33 inches. You can cut your spring just not sure how much lower you want?

The "service suspension" message appeared again

Put the original rear links in and it was still there...
Raised the front end back up and its still there...

Really sucks as i have to get it read by the dealer now because i have no idea whats going on (rides smooth and everything is connected). Im pretty sure it has to do with the front shocks (they have an electronic internal solenoid that controls dampening)

 

[NORCAL SS]

ive never had a issue with mine or any of them I did on any autoride shock.

 

[Alex29573]

front shocks definitely have a problem, lots of squeaking/noise coming from them now

is there a better alternative than buying OEM shocks at 250 a piece? I want the same ride quality

I've seen some aftermarket kits that have non electronic shocks that come with a resistor like thing to hook up to the plugs..

 

[NORCAL SS]

you can vet regular shocks and run a resistor. are your.shocks oem now?

 

[Alex29573]

Yes oem now

Will the aftermarket ones feel different? Any specific aftermarket one in mind?
