Auto-ride shocks question on 2002 yukon XL

kevinmach1 · October 31, 2005

Instead of replacing the autoride shocks, can I use conventional shocks, like bilstiens? I don't really care if I have the autoride feature or not, it's on my 2002 yukon XL 2500. No reason why I can't do this, is there???

Thanks...Kevin

Wrong person.

If they don't come stock on Chevrolet vehicles, I know nothing about them and I never even heard of Nivomat shocks.

Sure they do, they come on Tahoes, Sachs Nivomat shocks..they are self leveling shocks, usually black with a yellow label.

Can't say I've ever seen 'em or heard of them before. And I can't seem to find any information on them in our service information.

Sure, regular shocks will work just fine, but you'll get a "Service Autoride" message constantly. If that won't bother you, you can just ignore it.

I have the Nivomat Self Leveling shocks, but installed a 1 1/2 spacer and the shocks are bottoming out, do they have a reset feature or are they just not meant to be tampered with.
