Z71 early release suspension vs Future air suspension

[Big Bad Allis]

Shows as late availability. Same as the Duramax, and sliding console in the Tahoe/Burban.

My understanding is the air suspension is currently in limited distribution. The air suspension will raise the vehicle an additional 3” to a total of 4” in 4wd mode. I was originally planning on waiting for the air suspension thinking it might be able to be run in normal 2wd.


That things looks awesome!
My Z71 may be slightly higher, but still good still use another 1” to level. I was going to add a 2” level when I put my bigger tires on but it was not needed to clear them. The 2” leveled Z71’s I have seen look too high in front. The wheel wells are bigger than past years and allow for a larger tire. I am running a 33.5” tire with no level or rubbing.

There were a few out there with manufacturer plates that GM let youtubers and press play with. I don't think any production units have been shipped with the air suspension.

Saw that. Requires MRC which I know is nice but for me Personally it is another feature with past problems. Maybe they got it right now. Hope so.
