Im running bilstein fronts with resistors and oem rears that were replaced by the previous owner. Maintained rear air ride. No warning messages.

How do your jounce stops look? Those make a big difference in the ride.

Genuine GM 15153958 Control Arm Bumper, Front https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GU99S7G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_S-BQAbQ8GTPQM

I ended up putting in an amazon order for the Bilstein BE5-E380-** Rears along with the 199020 springs and the BE5-6500-** Fronts. My Jounce stops look a bit squished compared to the picture, and they have a slight wedge shape to them, So I will pick up some of those too.
Thanks!

Replaced the APP sensor today. Waited until it got cold out to see if it still went into REP mode... Sure enough, it did. Back to the drawing board.

Yeah, just not worth the hastle for the slight convenience. I won't be towing a trailer any time soon, so when the time comes I will just get some air helper springs if needed. I will keep the compressor, but bypass the autolevel system with manual controls.

Hook the compressor to an air tank to supply some train horns... I mean don’t let something good go to waste lol

I saw a member on here a while back on IG that put an 02 Avalanche rear bumper on his ride and I thought it looked pretty cool...so I finally found one that was in pretty decent condition, painted it and mounted it last night. Definitely changed the look and not bad for $100 and some paint. I might put some LED reverse lights in it one of these days too.

That looks bad ass. Was it a straight bolt on or did you have to do some modification?

How are you gonna turn the fans on?
I have a harness coming from Nelson Performance and I had the guys at Diablosport turn them on in a tune for me. The tune is pretty basic, just adjusting for tire size, gear ratio, and the e-fans for now. Eventually I'm gonna cam it and have to get real custom tune, but it'll do for now.

I got my cheap smoke machine in today so tomorrow I plan on looking for intake leaks. Might be pulling the blower again if it's leaking.

What were you quoted/charged for the tune to update tire size/gear ratio?

Makes sense. Thats the route i went with my Denali. Im not a fan of my current autoride shocks tbh but they work... So they will stay for now.
