This video illustrates how simple it is to install a suspension conversion kit on the REAR two wheels of the midsize GM SUV family -- Chevy Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Oldsmobile Bravada, Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7x and Isuzu Ascender sold in the years 2002 to 2009.

IMPORTANT: There may have been updates to the installation process since this video was made. Therefore, ALWAYS FOLLOW THE PAPER INSTRUCTIONS that come with the kit for the most up to date installation procedure.

Millions of these GM midsize sport utility vehicles were made with an air suspension system at the rear. This system featured a pair of rubber air springs (also known as air bags) that rely on sensors and a computer to work properly.

Our shops tell us the most common cause of failure in this system happens when tiny cracks in the rubber of the air springs cause leaks and eventually kill the onboard air compressor. Instead of chasing countless replacement parts that are expensive and hard to find, most professional mechanics recommend installation of the Strutmasters suspension conversion kit.

As you will see in the video, the conversion kit is simple to install and eliminates having to worry about what is going to fail next in the factory system.

Since the air suspension has failed, the front struts are probably worn out too. Strutmasters makes completely assembled front struts for these vehicles. Give the Strutmasters team a call at 866-597-2377 for details on a special money-saving offer on all four wheels. For even better service, jot down your complete vehicle ID number (VIN) prior to calling.

This vehicle had a failed rear suspension when it arrived at our Strutmasters facility in North Carolina. We replaced the expensive and complicated factory parts with our exclusive Strutmasters suspension conversion system. This eliminates the need to worry about replacing all of the high-dollar suspension electronics when they go bad. Our products are designed to be simple to install, provide a great ride quality and save customers thousands of dollars versus OE replacement parts.

Since we replaced the front struts too (shown in a different video), this customer was thrilled with the ride quality when the job was done.

We work on customer vehicles every day to design new products and to stay on top of the latest suspension challenges. We share what we learn by updating our instructions regularly and offering tech support to our customers.

Strutmasters founder Chip Lofton was the first to offer a fully assembled suspension conversion kit when the air suspension failed on his personal Lincoln in 1999. The company is still headquartered in North Carolina, where Lofton leads a team that strives to provide the best products and customer service in the industry. They use premium steel coil springs that are made exclusively for them in America. All of their conversion kits are assembled in small batches by experienced employees to ensure the highest quality.

Some customers have spent upwards of five to eight thousand dollars or more (parts and labor) chasing a failing factory system.Don't learn the hard way! Avoid multiple repairs that come with fixing the existing system (especially with cheap, imitation parts).
