Why spend thousands of dollars for new electronic/active struts? With these bypass modules you can use coil over kits or less expensive, passive struts and save considerably. These custom-built bypass units are plug-and-play, no splicing, and no soldering, simply plug them into the factory GM clips, zip tie into place. Inferior competitor products use bare wires and crimping system to connect to the factory wiring leaving the door open to moisture damage and corrosion down the road, this unit is completely waterproof and will last the life of the vehicle.
These modules successfully bypass the original, OEM stock struts so the vehicles computer thinks they are still in place eliminating any error lights, codes, or speed limitations due to failing struts or the struts being replaced by nonactive units.

how the KZbin algorithm got me here I will never know but I think Google stalked me because this is exactly what I was looking for LOL

[@ModsAndProjects]

Funny how that works LOL

[@dennisglodoski6365]

Genius! I’m gonna order this kit for my 1SG Cadillac STS4 when I order the rear passive shocks kit 👊🏽

[@SecondSightDigitalLLC]

Straight to the point, just the way I like it LOL. This looks like a great option for my coil over swap out.

[@ModsAndProjects]

Awesome, The original video was much longer but the project was so easy there was no need to make a really long-winded video

[@VainVulture]

I was kind of concerned about doing this but after the watching this I think it makes for a good DIY project! Thank you 🙂

[@ModsAndProjects]

We are glad the video helped, the whole point was to illustrate how easy it is as a DIY job!

[@howardmotley2104]

Thank you sir, this helps me a lot and I save money as well.😊

[@massimopalomino5932]

Well done and informative. Thank you, for the information. Those dashboard lights drives me nuts on my GM. Great video!!

[@ModsAndProjects]

Yeah, not only are dashboard lights annoying, but many times if you don't put the bypass is in place the car will limit its speed and some cars even going to limp mode

[@juniorniebles6048]

Nice Video , this looks easy enough that I would attempt to do it myself and save on paying a mechanic.

[@ModsAndProjects]

Yeah, definitely a good DIY job to save you some good money at the mechanic. I wonder how much a mechanic would charge to do this simple job :D

[@vigilante6123]

Super helpful!!!!

[@oRIDDLERo]

Great video, thank you for making it simple (i was wondering how to do this) I just ordered from the link in the description (great price compared to other options out there). Subbed!

[@ModsAndProjects]

Glad I could help!

[@dans9381]

Really could use some help. I need to bypass a 2023 f150 rear shocks that’ have two plugs on each shock. They are magnetic but used for an onboard scale. Very similar to the gmc newer models. Each shock has one plug that’s two wire and one that has three.

[@jackk189]

These bypasses worked perfectly

[@ModsAndProjects]

Thanks for commenting / reporting back!

[@johnhancock8955]

This looks so much better than the units out there that require you to cut off the original connector and solder or crimp wires on. They wanted $1200 per OEM strut on my car lol

[@ModsAndProjects]

Yup. I was in the same boat I think that's why most of us consider this bypass technique.

[@FM-nq3bp]

Thanks for uploading this, i just got a set of Bilstein coilovers and will be trying these plugs out 👍

[@andrewkotowski9240]

So did it work or not ?

[@sajidsadeq5012]

Update us if you will! I just got bilstein just now

[@peakpark557]

Thanks

[@patrickwilliams1489]

great video, keep up the good content!

[@ModsAndProjects]

Thank you, we will try :-)

[@user-hj5yf9tx1l]

hello friend. Watching this video helped me a lot. Can this also be applied to the Conversion Sus on my 07 x350? Please let me know if there is a product that fits my car. thank you

[@Fast93Civic]

Hypothetical question. Can you do just the rears and leave oem magnetic front struts in place?

[@adamandrew292]

Wow, the ones linked are at a great price point considering they just plug in to the stock connector! No crimping = less of a chance of failure from moisture etc i guess..

[@ModsAndProjects]

Exactly, so many kits out there require you to solder or crimp. Unless you seal the hell out of it, I'm guessing it would probably get moisture in it and corrode eventually.

[@adamandrew292]

@@ModsAndProjects Yes, definitely! That's why I decided to take this direction, having a direct fit makes a big difference in my opinion for long-term usage

[@lauriew5493]

The price on the replacement OEM suspension parts was ridiculous, I was looking for an alternative solution & this video delivered!! Sub 😎

[@Strib420]

My mag connector in the rear is up in the frame where the top of the shock goes. My concern is navigating the sim into the hole. I wonder if it is too long to negotiate?

[@louiebasilio5496]

Is it the concept and installation procedure with acura mdx? Thank you.

[@javihino]

Do any of these work for the 2019 denali 1500

[@scottpuglisi7477]

question, the connector looks a little different on my car than the one shown on the link I clicked on in the description. Will this work, is there another way?

[@michaelputelli8640]

Do you think this will work for a 2009 avalanche LTZ I want to lift and remove the autoride?

[@treygalland1314]

Do I have to get 2 sets for front and back

[@GKZ_29]

Can u help find some for a 2010 Alfa romeo

[@thewillmercer]

Title adds "Ford" to the mix but doesn't mention Ford or Lincoln. I understand it ought to still work, but since there are different parts for 05-13 GM and 13-19 GM, which kit am I getting for (In my case) a 2015 Lincoln/Ford? TIA

[@nicholasstrietzel2572]

Know where I can get these for a 2018 ford expedition??? Or can I just jumper wires to bypass??? Thx!

[@Bthast62]

What about the air compressor for the rear? The unit on my 2015 Tahoe has all passive suspension with bypasses. But the pump still runs and is super loud on startup. Any way to shut the compressor off or remove without throwing code?

[@jengardener7403]

That's awesome, nice vette! I have a C6, do you think it would work on this car?

[@ModsAndProjects]

Definitely, the most important part is the year of the car. They changed things up in 2013 so if your cars 2013 or newer you will need the version for that year range.

[@juansaid3100]

it is possible the shock get locked after accident >? when I lift the rear of my 2015 ss the right shock wont extend ...I put a jack and it wont move at all ....thanks

[@ronaldmcclelland4997]

Hello and thank you for the video. I also have a 1998 C5, did you have to get the universal adapter also for these to work? I need to get them for mine also. Please let me know. Thank you.

[@ModsAndProjects]

There is no need for the universal adapter or ride height simulators for that particular vehicle. Should just be plug and Play with the one listed in the description

[@rosarequena3158]

Hi I would like to know if this device works on Acuras models ?

[@guanaco902ny]

Can this be used in 2012 Acura MDX

[@kik0zafraferrando184]

Any bypass for a 2015 c7 z06?

[@user-vf1sy2eo3r]

Where do I get the bypass connector

[@rancho.studios]

do you think it will work on an early 2000’s buick? Great vid btw

[@ModsAndProjects]

I don't see why not. Just make sure you get the proper version for your year.

[@lennydelvecchio7716]

You might consider adding hyperlinks for people that don't use Amazon...

[@smokezyy8736]

Does this work with ford and which one should i get for ford?

[@ayyanshaikh7276]

Will this work on a W204 C Class ? (2013 Model Year)

[@JerryCecco]

which by pass unit with with 2017 C7 Corvette?

[@zl1chris904]

HELP!! 2015 ZL1 Camaro still getting code. I did the ride highth as well.

[@yusefgg9333]

I have a 2003 Seville STS and I am concerned about where to install these since my wheel well looks a little different. Any suggestions? Thank you!

[@ModsAndProjects]

Ideally you want to zip tie the bypass to the existing wire harness as shown in the video, if you do not have access to the existing wire harness you can zip tie it to to the frame or anywhere else where it will be isolated from movement. Obviously you don't want to zip tie it to the suspension system because it moves constantly. Just look for a place that doesn't move and is out of the way of anything in motion. Remember when installing them in the front wheel wells that when you turn your steering wheel the wheels turn as well so you definitely want to take that into account..

[@nicholasstrietzel2572]

2018 Ford expedition ccd bypass??

[@zoenapier288]

What is the difference between the two models? They both have the same connector but they seem different dimensionally.

[@ModsAndProjects]

GM vehicles between 1997 in 2012 have different requirements then GM vehicles between 2013 and 2019. You definitely want to make sure you get the correct model for the year of your vehicle because the newer vehicles between 2013 and 2019 have stricter requirements for the bypass units.

[@rockawaytownshipfiredept.9074]

These do not fit a 2010 Suburban LTZ as you said they would

[@inspectorSlap]

How do I know if the units in the description will fit my vehicle?

[@ModsAndProjects]

You definitely want to check prior to ordering the components with the plug-and-play connector as seen in the video. Just take one of your wheels off and disconnect the active suspension to see if the plug looks like the one in the picture if it does, you are good to go. If it does not, the bypass unit will still work but you will need to order a compatibility kit for a few extra bucks on Amazon. Basically the compatibility kit plugs into the bypass and leaves you with two bare wires you can cramp or solder onto the wires on your vehicle in each wheel well

[@t_dollaz3192]

Got them for my 2001 Cadillac el dorado and it didn’t do anything. Do I have to reset anything or is it automatic? Could there be another issue? I made sure I did everything correctly

[@ModsAndProjects]

Per the GM manual it could take up to 30 ignition cycles to clear codes. You could always go in with a snap-on or similar OBD computer to clear them yourself. Is your goal just to get rid of the dashboard lights?

[@t_dollaz3192]

Thank you! There’s no warning light it just pops up saying “vehicle speed limited to 90 mph” but I will continue waiting and see. When I run the scanner to the ob2 port there are no codes that pop up

[@efrenbarrera991]

will that by pass the position sensor? for DTC C0696

[@ModsAndProjects]

The full kit includes ride height simulators that bypasses positioning sensor. Ride height simulators are required for trucks and SUVs

[@AhRamboRo]

Bro I bought all four for my Escalade and install still have the service light help

[@user-ph7yu4vv3y]

I have a 2003 escalade 2wd what kit do i use?

[@ModsAndProjects]

Hi, amzn.to/4aYd7u8 is the proper kit for pre-2013 trucks and SUVs. Running the full kit with three pin ride height simulators guarantees the kit lasts for the life of the vehicle. If you have air ride in the rear you will need the pigtails as well as they use a different, smaller two pin connection

[@RanchFairy]

even I can do that!!!

[@nicklouallen4784]

I can’t find any information on bypassing or conversions for 2010 Cadillac SRX. Has anyone seen this done. Can’t find any conversion kits for the 2nd gen srx anywhere.

[@nicklouallen4784]

Did you ever bypass your srx

[@aaronursin5521]

Where can I buy these at

[@ModsAndProjects]

Link is in the description

[@catchupmashup2866]

Does this work for Ford??

[@ModsAndProjects]

It should work fine, however, you should check the connector to your existing suspension to see if it is a direct fit, if for some reason it is not a direct fit you could always get the universal kit that would allow you to cut and crimp onto the wires.

[@phoenixxarizonaa9629]

Still getting a service message

2020 denali 1500

[@ModsAndProjects]

@@phoenixxarizonaa9629 yes, on the Denali 2020 unfortunately, you need the full kit that includes the ride height simulator bypass, it can be found here: amzn.to/3PrH9uC

[@txoutlaw956]

Did not work for my 10' Tahoe 😡

[@ModsAndProjects]

Hi, can you contact us directly on our website, modsandprojects.com/ we will make sure we get it up and running for you and resolve any issues with the installation

[@littlej3777]

If I only want to replace my magneride with gas and coil over shocks, do I need to hook up the ride height simulator?

[@KFLson]

2:03 yo did you get the bypasses wrong, the big one suppose to be 1997-2012???
