Okay got some photos for you guys of what I did I have 126k miles on my 08 Yukon. Was having a big issue towing my trailer with all my stuff compressor was running very often. Went to gm and was not paying that price for the new electric shocks. So I called around and did a lot of googling and I came to by the Monroe ma830s these Cousy me the low low price of 70 bucks for both out the door! I was shocked. The problem they are passive air shocks not electric so u loose the ability for the rear to adjust based on road conditions. ( i feel very little difference.) so after I installed I had the service light on for the suspension. I went to radio shack and got a 22 0hm resistor. A simple board and an enclosure. ( I did this to keep everything tight and dry.) I cut off the old connector dropped a few connectors on her and boom light is now gone. Now I see a lot of people wanting ago raise or lower the ass end. All to do it move the leveling sensor to the rear to drop it or fwd to raise it. It worked for me! If u want some photos of what I did just message me I got plenty! image.jpegimage.jpeg image.jpegimage.jpeg image.jpegimage.jpeg image.jpegimage.jpeg

Another option would be to get this resistor and wire it inline. For removing the warning lights that is.

I just bought some 2ohm 25watt resistors, $2 a piece, cut off the old connector and connected the 2 wires to the resistor. This has been covered alot, i believe there is a sticky so no need to search. Ive used different resistors, anything between 2 to 4 ohm and 25w to 100w ive had no error messages.

Great info. thanks I am going to be replacing my air shocks soon. I was looking at Arnotts this seems like a better option until it is lowered.
