Has anyone successfully raised the rear ride height (1-2”) on a vehicle with the Z55 air leveling shocks?

I have a 2012 Suburban LTZ and have installed the Suspension Maxx leveling kit in the front (1.5”). There’s a small amount of rake towards the rear. I’d like to raise it about an inch using the factory air leveling.

I’m wondering if I can adjust the control arm bracket to make the sensor tell the shocks to inflate more.

I wonder if the front level sensor brackets Suspension Maxx sells would work for the rear?

You can adjust them for more height but it will ride stiff/harsh.

If you only need an inch I would suggest getting a pair of spacer "pucks" and install them under the rear springs.

Then adjust your auto leveling links accordingly.

You MAY also need/want some lower shock relocators, but again, if only going up 1 inch they probably aren't necessary.
