Had the dealership do the Trim Height Relearn today and it made a big difference. I had to track down the procedure as none of the local dealers knew about it but they did it for free for the help! So to clarify and help others to install my Ride Control Bags: 1.) Remove the Load Levelers 2.) Modified the Wheel position sensor brakets 3.) Installed the Bags per the instructions running them on a common air line (Not Split) 4.) Made new Struts that connect to the wheel position sensor to the brackets using small threaded rod, shortened roughly 3" from the originals. 5.) Found that 20-30PSI was the sweet spot for ride height and comfort, empty cab & bed. 6.) Preformed a trim height relearn.

Great point, I have tried pressures from 10 PSI up to 50 PSI. One thought was that the dynamic velocities were to high due to the reduced spring rate and the shock was compensating with a stiffer high speed compression or rebound. I warehoused the factory 20" wheels with the LS2's in 275's, installed an OEM set of 18's with OEM Duelers but there was not much of a change. As for tire pressures I have tried from 31-38 PSIG in the rears but did not notice a large difference. I put the LTX II's on my last 14' All Terrain and was very happy with them also. I did not know this is possible I am going to start researching now, being able to do a relearn would be fantastic! My dealer has said nothing about it, and to my knowledge there was no way to do this. Thank you so much for posting! There definitely needs to be some clarifications here. The ride is still, particularly in the rear but the handling is leaps and bounds better than any other truck I have owned or driven. The shocks are one of the main reasons I bought the truck. Really my frustration is that I can make all the changes to my other cars to get the ride where I want it but GM omitted this option from the trucks and the aftermarket companies aren't interested in the market. Again thank everyone for your help and comments! As of now I am hoping the Trim Height Relearn will make things better!

I would add with a 5th wheel I would probably shoot for a 2500. Though my 6.2L pulls 24'L x 8.5'W x 6.5'T enclosed trailer that loaded is 8,000# trailer, the 2500 Duramax pulls it like mine pulls a 2000# trailer. Removing I am sure is not easy, I figured I would start with resistors but worry about dynamic feedback that will throw a light. I like the spring idea but since I have bags already I wonder if that would help much. I am going to give Deaver a ring and see what they have to say, I really like the idea and it appears they make a top notch product, thank you very much for the heads up!

Some time back I used load levelers in the rear of my 2016 Denali 1500 for use when I pulled my trailer. I was shocked that the ride got worse only to find that I had to make new rods for the suspension position sensors. The shocks thought the rear was under load at all time firming up the dampening. After getting that sorted the truck went back to riding like stock but still pretty firm so I purchased a set of 18's to try. Though there were some small differences it was not worth talking about. I even tried reaching out to DSC Sport to purchase a new controller which I have used on my P-Cars, Vettes, GTR...... but they are working through the sports cars and not interested in trucks. Now my thoughts have turned to modifying the leafs or removing the Magna Ride shocks from the rear and installing a traditional shock. I drive the truck 40-50K / year all highway and only 3-5K with a trailer, rarely putting over a few hundred pounds in the bed. Hopefully the 2020 trucks have this worked out with the new ride option menu but until then I am keeping mine. Anyone hear have any suggestions?
