It’s a direct swap if you got a compressor back there just unplug it so it don’t run

You can go with the non-Denali (air ride) shocks for your year Yukon, but you will also have to replace the rear springs with the stiffer non-Denali springs (because the air assist will no longer be available to help support the rear).

I have a 2006 Escalade that has a broken air suspension and I never noticed that I had any problems with my springs. I was hauling about 350 kilos of cement once and if you looked closely you could see that the car was a little lower in the back than the front. But not problematic in any way. If you change your shock absorbers and if you also have an active suspension like the Escalade has, which you can tell because there are plugs going to the shock absorbers, then you need to get adapters that you put on those plugs so that you don't get an error message from the magnetic ride suspension.
