I rebuilt my autoride with Arnott stuff and it rides good considering the 26's. I avoid potholes anyway to protect my rims since there isn't much sidewall. Maybe Tony can advise you on a fix with that disabled. I'm running a 2/3 drop with spindles, Belltech springs, DJM shock extenders and end links and the Arnott shocks and compressor with shortened ride height sensors. It works real well for towing too.IMG_4323.JPG

Where can I get shortened ride height sensors

I just used some threaded rod and replaced the rods that connect the plastic ball joints. That way you can experiment since with autoride, the ride height sensors determine the final drop. I did find out that the new links being sold now don't have threaded rod but instead are molded into the plastic ends. I got some for extras and figure I'll have to epoxy the rods in if I need them. I suppose the old style is available at junk yards.

You got pics or how to vid I'm partially disabled now from an accident so I might need to ask for help and dudes around here raise and don't lower so they're clueless
