AS-3430 is the same as the AS-2715 is performance. Fools the Z55 suspension. Still is air ride. Not sure what the difference inbetween the 2715 and the 3430 is.
I finally found the difference - the AS-2715 has an external resistor and the AS-3430 has that resistor internal. I ended up ordering the AS-2715 from Rock Auto since they were cheaper there and I used the forum sponsor discount code to make it a bit cheaper even still

FWIW I had an issue with one of my resistors and they sent me another which I was able to swap over onto the shock. If they were internal I’m guessing they would have to replace the entire shock.

I chose the AS-2715 because they were around $40 cheaper than the internally bypassed AS-3430, but your experience makes me think I made the right choice even outside of price.
