shock extenders and autoride

[bbogue4]

I don't think you can get away with trying to lower it with just shortening the links. You'll definitely have to have the springs and shock extenders.. I'm off Guadalupe and McClintock..

I am on apache and price.Is there some one local where I can get the springs and shock extenders?

christoso so no problems with driving around on your front stock autoride shocks compress an additional 2 inches? still wondering why they make rear shock extenders and not front ones

No. because of the spindles, the whole front geometry stays the same. Nothing changes and it rides smooth..

Try belairtim, he is a vendor here and he can hook you up with a great deal on what you need. I got my kit from him a couple of years ago..

I still have the autoride equipment and it rides smooth as silk even wit 24's and 295/35/24's..

What drop do you have...I want close to the same ride also. I just put a 2-3 Belltech on and took off the 3-4 ground force. I am adding the air ride back on because the KYB Mono shocks can't handle the weight they keep bottoming out so I think I'm going back to air. Plus it still sits like its a 3-4 drop with out the air shocks. I have a brand new set of Bilsteins but fear I will have the same results so I haven't even opened them up....

Mcgaughys 2" drop spindles in the front and 3" drop coils and shock extenders in the rear. I trimmed the autoride links by about an inch to make up for the drop. The auto ride compressor kicks in for about 3 seconds at start up and when I have too many bodies or towing but it stays the same ride height all the time..

I've used belltech and Ground Force and didn't like them. Used McGaughys now in 3 different trucks and I'm extremely happy with the ride and looks..

When it comes to the NNBS Tahoes/Esky/Yukon, McGaughys only wins when it comes to spindle design/quality, nothing else IMO.
