  1. Hi all, I have an '04 awd SS. I love this truck and won't give it up for a new one. I would like to do some cosmetic changes to spice it up a little. I was gonna slap some 22'' wheels on it with a decent riding tire ( not a really low profile tire, maybe a 40 series) . And of course it would look silly with 22's at stock ride height. So I would like to take out 2'' of ride height, BUT ..... I like to trailer sea-doos, ski-doos and ocassionally, a open car hauler with the vette on it. At stock suspension, the rear already screams bloody murder with the car in tow. Now that being said, lowering 2'' , this truck will not tow crap anymore. I need some feedback, I know airbags might work well in the rear, as they are adjustable, but I would hate to go with those on all 4 corners. Are the airbags even strong enough to support a lowered truck, and a trailered load ???? I know I want my cake and be able to eat it too. Just wondering if anyone has some ingenious ideas here to keep this SS lokking good, but stay versatile too. Thanks in advance......... Doug.
  2. I have had the same problem here too. What I did to fix the problem is when re-installing the cladding, shift it just a little to the right, so it's further back on the drivers door (about 1/4''). This way there is no possible chance of it catching the fender if it starts to delaminate again. Also I used some body panel adhesive instead of 2 way tape. That piece is not coming off again period.
