Default Question about Belltech on Tahoe with autoride

I just lowered my '03 Tahoe with a Belltech 2/3" spindle drop. I did the coils in the rear and shock bracket relocaters. I got it all back together and found the leveling valve for the rear air shocks was lifting the back up cause the lowering coils. So I moved the leveling rod brackets down the upper control arm so it wouldn't fill the shocks up so much.. I was just wondering if there's a kit you can get with shorter rods for the leveling valves or if I did it the right way.. Thanks for any help.

I think you can order the sensor brackets from belltech or their distributors. I don't have a part number, but you can download their application guide or give them a call.

I had to build links for my denali after dropping it 3.5"f and 4.5"r. I just cut down some bolts of the same diameter of the links and threaded them down aways, I had to think of something quick because I snapped the little aluminum ones that came in the belltech kit. Even the shorter ones were giving me close to 1" of lift and the one side snapped so easily when I was grinding it that I just switched to steel. Here it is looking like a dragster:

And after a little work it sits way better:

hey man i have an 04 yukon 4wd sle with the ZW7 self leveing suspension. You have the autoride which i dont but my rear still has those self-lev schocks.

My question is are the front ones normal shocks b/c my left front shock is squaking and needs to be replaced and its about $300 a piece from the dealer, and half as much from aftermarket...is this cause GM parts are just $$$$ like always or are the front ones special too....?

My fronts are the same as the rears(air shocks).

And on those links, I called Belltech and they are sending me the new links that weren't in the kit. Guess we'll see if they work of not....
