new suspension....? finally took the plunge and bagged my Av.? I went with Air Ride Technologies kit.
BigRed MAX system - includes (2) Viair 400 compressors, (2) 10 port 5 gallon tanks, RidePro e2 electronics, (1) ARV7400 BigRed airvalve, 60 feet of 1/2" DOT airline, DOT fittings. Rise Time: well under 2 seconds
front:
shockwave v3:
Bolt-on installation. NO welding required.
Unequalled ride quality
Proven patented sealing technology
Anodized billet aluminum construction
16 position adjustable valving
Eliminates tire clearance problems
Superior handling
rear:
Coolride:
Lowers vehicle ride height
Improves handling
Greatest application coverage and versatility
Pre-engineered mounting hardware to maintain ground clearance, driveline angles, tire clearance and load capacities
Improves ride quality!
controller:
FBSS, individual wheel, 3 programable preset heights, auto ride height on start up, ... blah blah blah...
bought it here:? http://ridetech.com/index.asp
they don't list an Avalanche as an available kit, but the 02 Tahoe kit works on the Av.
still need to swap tires to allow them to tuck in the front a little more.? I had them cut off the whole bumstop bracket in the rear instead of just the lil 'bucket' it sets in.? That allowed for about 2" more drop.?
The install took a little longer than I wanted, but I kinda expected it.? No pics of the install, but here are a few of the complete work.?
