I am building a “overlanding” rig out of my 07 ltz burb. It has auto level suspension but I want to do a 5 inch lift and some bigger tires for off-roading. Can I just remove the auto level parts and install a lift kit with passive suspension? Or do I have to do something special to get that to work? I wish I knew the auto level was a thing when I bought this truck cause it’s a pain having to figure this out

Yes, normal springs and shocks will fit just fine. You’ll need a way to disable the system or you’ll get dashboard lights about the suspension system look for autoride delete resistor

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics of the truck, please.

Yes, you can. You will need to put load resistors on the electrical lines going to the rear shocks, in order to avoid the dash warning light. Then, also remove the fuse powering the air compressor. You will also remove the height sensors on the suspension arms.

Note that you will need to replace the rear springs with stiffer non-air ride springs, but I suspect that your lift kit will come with its own springs.
