Your front mrc struts are most likely locked up. Very common issue. It should ride very nicely.
They were both blown out, I've since replaced them. I should have gone with the regular shocks.

Whats the gizmo you use to trick the computer? Just a resistor between the wires?

I'm really posing to follow the the thread.

Does it ride better with the fancy suspension removed? My 15 Yukon feels like I'm driving around a harbor freight tool cart.

The mag ride suspension was smooth when it was still in good shape. The Fox suspension I have on it now feels about the same as the good condition oem suspension in terms of ride quality. I swapped over to fox because oem replacement parts were already a little pricey and I don’t trust non-GM genuine parts. With the Fox I can also hit the trails and washboards road and it’s much better at that than the mag-ride.

Just sim caps you connect to the harness. I got mine off Amazon for $140 for a pair (I need 2 pairs because I replaced both the front struts and the rear shocks)

Yea i went with the xengineering sims for the front shocks when i put fox units up front. When i replaced the rear shocks i went with air shocks to retain that function but got the ones that had built in simulators for the mrc.
