TRQ, I want to say (from a humble TAC aircraft tech) that your videos are on point and your product looks sound. I do have a question: Why smaller lower bolt and upper nuts than the OE? If they were the same size, would that mitigate the need for alignment? Thank You!!!

@abcardenas35 says:

The extension you put it in the new one 18 mm

@juanparra180 says:

I bought shocks from yall and got them installed and I like the ride and everything but now my car can’t go past 80 mph and I made sure everything was connected properly I was wondering if yall have any idea how to fix that

@davew102 says:

Thanks for the assist. It was as easy as the video showed (although it took me longer than 11 minutes). Great video.
Note that I think the 1A Auto shocks in the video would have fit my Tahoe with the same Escalade "autoride" suspension, but I had to purchase elsewhere where they guaranteed the fit. (1A Auto support said no). Possible missed opportunity for 1A.

@fromundadeez4823 says:

Is this the same for a premium esv with air ride?

@antcap503 says:

A couple questions, Do the bolts need to be torqued? Also, does this keep the autoride in front or bypass it. I'm looking to swap put both front and rear and want to keep my autoride I have 08 escalade ext z55, I found struts for the back that keep autoride, but haven't found one's for the front that has the spring already attached just stats by themselves.

That car looks like it was submerged in water, very rusty underneath
