I'd love to see a video comparing an AT4 6.2 on 87 vs an AT4 6.2 on 93.

Gotta actually put sensor in vice and tap on shock to remove sensor if the vehicle has some miles on it. Just an fyi. Great alternative tho!

Thanks for reaching out and giving us a call. I think the new setup on your High Country Silverado is going to be awesome! Keep us updated, we can't wait to see how it turns out.

So my 22 sierra Denali was riding like a Cadillac when I first got it, now since I towed with it it’s been a rough ride stiff you can feel any bump only have 11k miles on it… would this fox that issue? Or can I reset the shocks damping system?

If the ride height of your truck has changed any, you can try a "Ride Height Trim/Relearn procedure" from a dealer or a shop with an Autel, Launch, or SnapOn scan tool that can do it. This will reset the Suspension Control Modules (zero ride height) that it bases Active Suspension adjustments off of. Resetting the new zero ride height can smooth out the ride and reduce the amount of adjustments performed by the SCM. However, if the shocks are actually just shot, then replacing them with new shocks would be best. If you get non-active (Z45) shocks then you will need to remove the solenoid coils off your stock ones and plug them into your chassis harness (like in this video) then bolt up your new shocks. Let us know if you have any questions. All the best! -Team Xineering

Any towing capacity will be dictated by the spring rate in the rear.

If you are removing the shocks then yes you can remove the solenoid coil from your stock shocks like in the video and it will work. The 'arm on the upper control arm' is the ride height sensor. You will need to leave the sensor plugged in for the SCM to read it's voltage. You can zip tie the arm in the near center position (2.5V) to keep the SCM happy. Feel free to give us a call or email if you have any other questions. Thanks!

i am trying to diagnosis a vibration above 65 mph if i remove the fuse under the hood will it default the suspension to a normal full soft setting? My dealer could not duplicate vibration, i installed a new drive shaft after eliminating tire balance tripple checking roadforce balance, the intermittent above 65mph vibration is still there, my thought was the shocks stiffen up above a certain speed but without communicating with the programmer of the suspension its just a guess so i want to try to disable it temperately without causing any damage.

That sounds like a tough situation... You can always disable the system via the under hood fuse or unplugging the shocks. Then perform your speed test. Without power to the shocks, they should perform as standard struts. But you will have DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) Hope this helps! If you do plan on replacing the shocks we have a bypass kit now... so no need to rip apart your shocks :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYmNmtWsgtWeZKg.html

We would say no, it is not standard or an available option for the AT4. The AT4 comes standard with RPO Z7X Suspension, Off-Road with 2" factory installed lift and monotube shock According to the GMC online order guide (www.gmfleetorderguide.com/) Z45 is only standard on Denali models. Under AT4 it shows Z45 as unavailable. NOTE: 2019 and up trucks have RPO Z45 Suspension, Adaptive Ride Control (which is the successor to the truck 'magneride')

Congrats on the new truck! Yes this will be the only way we found to bypass the ARC... Some people put HUGE resistors under the truck. We did this aswell. During our testing, via a heat camera, found the resistors got hot enough to melt the plastic under the truck. This is the most cost effective and safe way to accomplish a bypass.
