replace rear coils when getting rid of autoride?

[moosehead]

you are wasting your money.

Wasting money replacing coil springs? If so why does arnott include them?

because they can make money selling them. Gm used the autoride springs in other non autoride trucks also.

If you plan to tow just add helper bags for 80 dollars if you want to be extra safe dont waste money on springs

no you do not. I never do when going from autoride to non autoride shocks on trucks ive done. No issues at all

Can you explain how it doesn't need them cause my YD needs help big time lol

I put arnott air shocks and compressor on last summer. This summer I replaced the dryer because it started leaking and now my new dryer is leaking again. Long story short I'm getting rid of the factory air ride. My question bout not replacing the springs is that typical shocks don't carry the weight of the vehicle right? Shock just help control the ride quality and to help with the rebound on the springs right?

Idk I'm new to the gm airride all I know is that my rear tires are buried into the fenders after 8hrs of it sitting!!! I'm freaking tired of waiting 5 min for it to air up so I can go anywhere.... Oh and the ride quality sucks ass!!! My old 3000GT VR-4 with 2" lowering springs and KYB GR-2 racing struts rides better than my freaking Denali does and that was rough at times!!!

Rant over lol

regular shocks with airlift helper bags will do a better job of towing and load then autoride shocks.

Hell my 6 inch drop springs with helper bags and over 1000 pounds of audio system in the back of a truck is no issues


Do yourself a favor get rid of the autoride get shocks and get regular shocks and then add in airlift helper bags if you tow.

I haul a bass boat spring summer and fall...
I was thinking bout lifting 2-3" front and rear and using the air lift kit for towing anyways so I guess I just need to throw in spacers, bilstein 5100s all around and longer sway bar end links haha...
Thanks for your input!!
