Default Suspension Conversion

I have a 2007 SE7 with the SLS. I am going to switch to a conventional coil/spring with the OME kit. I know there was a post in the forum than told you about the additional hardware needed for the rear suspension. I can not for the life of me find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, after doing some research (reading alot of DiscoMikes posts) and talking with a few friends, i think im am going to keep the SLS (replacing the airbags and using athe 2" spacer from RTE...I will be adding the OME front shock/spring and stearing stablizer, as well as using OME shocks out back as well.

Mike, is there anything that i am missing for this little porject of mine?

You seem to have it in control. How many miles on the truck, why are you replacing the bags?

there are about 87000 on the truck....there seems to be the beginnings of cracking at the base of the current air bags, plus, our sponser has the airbags on sale for the disco

I replaced my bags at around 85K as they were starting to leak. The Arnott bags are far better then the factory bags.
If you are going to raise the front the consider buying the RTE spacers that will allow you to adjust the rar height from 2 to 3.5"s higher.
Let me know if you have any questions.
