Ah yes, so the 'auto level' sensors are still working, just the dampening electronics are bypassed. Gotcha!:cheers: Right on! Thanks for the research!


So have you made your decision now??

I'm STILL on that damn fence lol.

As soon as I can get the money together, I'm going with the Bilsteins. It's still waaaay cheaper and from what I've heard they actually ride better then the electric shocks.

looks like I am ordering the Bilsteins end of the week and a new compressor for my Denali from Arnott.

I LOVE my bilstein HDs, just order some 3.9ohm resistors and you won't have a service ride control light.

Max, it says on Arnott they come with something to plug into your sensor on the truck that keeps the service engine light away... so why the resistors then?

I don't think those are the same shocks. They are both Bilstein, but I think Max has the standard shocks, the Bilstein Heavy Duties. The Bilstein/Arnott shocks are still air shocks that the two companies jointly produced.

Max, does that sound right?

Yus I have the standard application factory replacement shocks, the arnotts work w/autoride but I just deleted all that crap.
