21 Denali without airide

[Mitty]

I recently purchased a 21 Yukon Denali. This one did not come with the “tow package” I know this one does not have the new air ride suspension. Can someone tell me what my rear suspension is? Do I have air bags in the rear.   I’m asking because I tow with it and it seems to squat some in the back. Can I add air bags into the back of this model to get a little bit more of a lift?

The air suspension option is 4 corner air suspension.  There is no rear air shocks on their own anymore as the 2021+up big SUVs have 4 wheel independent suspension now instead of a solid rear axle with optional air shock like they used to use.  

 

Standard Denali suspension is 4 wheel independent with Magneride.  NHT max trailer does not automatically get the air suspension, the air is optional on top of NHT but to get the air its required to have NHT max trailer.  

 

That I can see, there aren't any air kits for these trucks still.

 

Do you know how heavy your trailer is?  Do you know how much tongue weight you have?  

 

Its gonna sag.  All vehicles will sag when towing by design.  Not sure why everyone is so dead set on eliminating it when they should be more worried on if everything is set up and balanced correctly.  How much though will vary on if you are properly set up on the trailer and if you are using weight distribution.  GM uses 10% of trailer weight should be your tongue weight for proper handling when towing.
