If you decide to keep the stock height, in my opinion you can't go wrong with the factory system. Rockauto has the OEM z55 autoride rear air shocks for $250 each. I just installed a fresh set in each of our Denali's and they're holding pressure great. Originals on my '12 lasted 117K and were holding pressure fine, but one started to leak a little hydraulic fluid so I replaced them. The units on my '07 were unknown and were leaking just enough air to require replacement. Both will hold pressure 100% now with a 4000' trailer.

Arnott will buy your old factory auto ride shocks for cores and rebuild them... at least they would a few years back when I swapped mine... you should call and ask them. They sent me shipping labels and everything... may recoup some of your money.

I think they still do. If you buy the AS-2700’s, I think they’ll give you $25 a shock. The AS-2708’s have a $50 core charge through RockAuto.

Don't forget RockAuto's 5% discount code they always have posted in the vendors forum.

Just ordered a set earlier today. $385 after 5% discount and $50 core charge for each. So $285 after sending back old ones and getting core charge back.

If you tow you can’t beat the factory rear set up, especially with a lifetime warranty from Armott. If you go with helper bags you might spend as much or more than getting the Armott set up and it’s much easier having the rear adjust itself vs adding air.
