I am having a 2017 Yukon XL built and want to get my parts ordered to do a 2/4 drop.
I see that Tony has 2 kits, with and without Autoride. I asked the dealer if my 2017 SLE would have Autoride and his response is:
"The 2017 Yukon XL does not have Autoride. It is equipped with "premium smooth ride" below is a description I found explaining it.
Premium Smooth Ride: indicated by the RPO code ZW7. This suspension uses a conventional suspension in the front, but the rear uses a self-contained, self-leveling Nivomat shock in the rear. ZW7 equipped trucks come with a softer spring in the rear since the Nivomat self-leveling system does some of the work of holding the truck up. Replacing a ZW7 Nivomat unit with a standard shock requires also replacing the spring, otherwise the truck will sag in the rear and have a much harsher ride and potentially dangerous handling."
Is this the same thing as Autoride? Which kit with/without would I go with?
