Q: Suspension swap - 2005 Cadillac Escalade
Hi. I have an 05 Cadillac Escalade AWD 5.3L Vortec. Is it possible to change the factory airshocks to conventional shock absorbers, and if so will I lose ride quality and get a code error from suspension. If I have to replace them with OEM air shocks would I have to replace the compressor unit too?. The reason I'm asking is because I was planning on buying Belltech 2/3 drop shocks. Any tips,help or advice would be great. Thank you.
