i will be changing the whole suspension on the truck, i will be doin springs, shocks, air shocks, compressor, and all the stupid little bushings n stuff.Love the stock ride quality of the truck, i do not wanna loose that at all!!!!
its stock ride height as it sits m questions are.......


do i keep it the stock ride height or lower it?
Should i keep the air ride or completley get rid of it? pros and cons of doing either or.

i am doing minimal to no towing at all, just DD so i need it to remain comfortable

what to do?

If you like your factory ride then leave it alone. If you don't mind losing some ride quality to look good then lower it. I could care less about smooth ride which is why I went for a 3/5 regardless of how smooth or not smooth it rode. I like being able to drive it like a sports car more than I care about riding like a caddy.

I bought my Denali for the ride quality and taking it on trips. I just replaced my rear air shocks and compressor last fall with replacements from Arnott. Haven't touched the front yet but will soon. She is just breaking in at 91K ;)

Did you do it yourself or pay to have it done?
