Nice ride. Like the interior. I can tell by the way it is setting the suspension is stuck up. You diffidently have an issue with it. Would have to take it to the dealership to scan for codes. Unless you have a scanner that you can emulate the shocks to see if they can move freely and operate correctly. Had a similar issue with my Navigator. Same suspension, the air ride module was bad. Then the shocks went. Sold the car...Cost way more to fix than the car was worth. One shock was $900. But they do make a conversion kit where you can get rid of the air ride.

I'm going to sub to this because I have the exact same issue on my '17 Suburban Premier. I have the max trailer package, Z95 magneride, and rear air shocks, and mine rides very rough.

I replaced all 4 magneride shocks. I was going to use ACDelco, but with backorder time, I went with TRQ complete front strut assemblies and rear air/mag shocks. I figured it'd ride much better, but it still doesn't.

I'm going to call a dealership and see if they need to be recalibrated or something. I figured new struts and shocks would make it ride amazing but it doesn't.

I wouldn't think the max-trailer package would make it ride as stiff as it does.

Are the TRQs the same quality as AC Delco.
My buddy loves TRQ and uses it on all his shitboxes, so I decided to give them a try. They seem like good quality, but the ride didnt really improve. Still feels like im driving an F450 rather than a luxurious SUV.

I did notice the front coils look different than the factory coils.

I wish my 2019 Yukon 4x4 was a bit stiffer, personally. Shocks seem to be good but it's a little floaty especially in the rear.
