I cannot directly assist you on this question, but kits sold by Rough Country are quite popular with folks on this Forum., @Trey Hardy may be able to give you some pointers on your question.

Deleting factory air ride, is this an expensive and extensive modification?

No you just replace the air ride shocks for regular shocks. I ran coil overs up front to replace the struts for a better ride.
If you’re worried about dash lights you got to get these things for the ride height sensors that plugs into them to keep dash lights off. And simply un plug the air compressor it’s a pretty simple conversion. Literally 2 bolts in the back shocks and a plug or two on the compressor
Front is the top 3 strut bolts and two on the bottom and the 2 plugs on the ride height sensors

Youve done this with the ‘21 and newer rigs?

It can be done with 21+. Icon for example has the kits. You have to disable both mag ride and air ride.

I suppose its pretty much the same concept. But it is a completely different setup. Those just had air shocks in the rear with typical coil suspension. These are nothing but air. Im sure the electronics are also much more intrusive with the new system and possibly a bit harder to bypass, but i havnt read anything about it or seen anybody that offers kits for it.

Ive seen some but they’re like 300-400$ for the harness thing. If their like the older Tahoes you can simply unplug the sensors and compressor and change the shocks out and it’ll be fine you’ll just have some dash lights on
