I can try to find pictures but I thought you said you disabled your auto ride? If it's disabled you don't need these.

I can't find any pictures of the ride links but if you get your autoride working and need help send me a PM. It's easy to see what I'm talking about when you look at one. The stock ones should be 2 plastic ball sockets connected by a rod with threads on the ends. Just go to a hardware store and buy some of the same size threaded rod and cut it into pairs of different lengths, about 1/4" difference in each pair. I think mine ended up 2 1/2" center-to-center of the ball sockets. It's a pain to change them- you have to remove the tires to get access. You'll know if you need to shorten them when you have the autoride working and your rig sits just a little low with the air lines pulled and then you hook everything up and start the engine and it keeps adding air to the rear shocks until it sits too high. I experimented with different lengths until it was level front to back. Seems like 1/2" difference in the links amounted to over 1" difference in the height of the rear.

1) did you cut the bracket off the frame
2) did you do the djm rear endlinks
3) on the endlinks did you drill 2 holes on drivers axle and move the swaybar to outside of pass side endlink?
4) did you torque the endlinks to 30 lbs.


Theres no reason the back of that truck should ride stiff. In over 15 years of doing that rear kit on these trucks Ive never had a issue with ride at all unless somethings not installed right or missiong.

Trust me together we will get the back of that truck riding well just need more info from you
