i like the idea of the Moog springs and rancho shocks. How are you guys clearing the error code on the dash when you bypass the autoride system

so im currently getting "service ride control" because my compressor is burnt out. It burnt out because I have holes in my air shocks. So if i purchase the rancho shocks and the moog springs install those and the do the autoride relay trick your saying I should be good? No "service ride control" and no more autoride system?

what shocks and springs do you use if you dont mind me asking

I was running (no longer have the denali) moog 81069 springs (z71/tow package springs) with two coils trimmed off and bilstein 4600's that are stock replacement for a non autoride suv

moog 81071 springs are standard springs and will ride a bit softer and an inch lower or so than the z71 springs.

that was just the rear end correct? you trimmed the springs because they made the rear end higher?
