Got the Sub yesterday.... it's an 8" lift, the rear needs to be a little higher, I think the guys forgot to install the isolator, because there are non in the rear now...
Next week it goes to MagnaCharger for the Supercharger install, it's their BETA truck.

does your truck have the air ride suspension in the rear. LTZ model? If no, then do you know who might make one for the LTZ autoride suspension in the rear.

This is an autoride Suburban, although it's an LT, this kit was made specifically for it.

I ordered it specially, it also has the 6.0 all aluminun DOD and VVT motor with 4:10 gears, it's a 4WD

Since mine is the frist from Bulletproof Suspensions, they had to keep it about a month, but the kit is well made, everything works.

I'm having an issue with it, when I remote start it, and when I go in and put the key in and turn it to ignition (not cranking it) I get a Service Traction Control and a Service Stability Control messages on the DIC, all I have to do is turn it off and wait about 10 seconds, restart it and no more problems.

I think it's the psoition of the front autoride sensors that maybe out of place.

On Monday I'll take it to the dealer to get the codes out to see what the computer comes up with.

Check over in the Tahoe section of this forum. There are several threads about the autoride suspension and suspension modifications that have resulted with the issues you describe. Mostly lowering suspension systems, but I believe the same problen with the service traction control issue.

Don't mind me asking about the cost of the suspension. I am looking more for a 6-6.5 in lift. I am looking at the Full Throttle suspension company. I do agree that the rear needs to be raised up a little more. Did you get some tires and wheels, would like to see the full package.

The wheels will be Weld Wheels 17x8.5" I don't know the style, Weld dictates that. The Tires will be from Interco 35" and again I don't know the type, we just told them we want quiet tires.

We are building this truck for SEMA 07

I will post pics with the whole package, I don't know when, it depends on when MagnaCharger needs it for the supercharger install.

I was having problems with a service ride control and service stabilitrak control messages when I started the Suburban with the Remote...

I figured that since everything was as before, connected except lifted, the only thing that was not the same was the link that connected the a arms to the auto ride sensor.... so I readjusted the new rod to 12" total, original was 4", lift was 8"...

And guess what... it fixed the problems....
