Welcome to the Forum from NH.
Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.
I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.
I've had both the Z55 active suspension and a fully passive suspension on my truck, and the Z55 active suspension is worlds better, IMO. In full transparency, though, other folks do prefer the passive suspension with Bilstein shocks, so that choice is yours.
