Question:

I have a 2019 Yukon with the 6.2L and the magneride air suspension system. Is there any benefit to using this when you have an air suspension like this?

Adding any after market bump stop/jounce bumper could potentially raise the vehicle 1" because they are longer than the factory bump stop however, they are compatible with the Magneride system. Adding them can potentially effect how the vehicle rides when not towing and how the vehicles built in sensors for the air springs read the level of the vehicle.

There are two types of bump stops/jounce bumpers available for the 2019 GMC Yukon 6.2L with the Magneride system. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Item # TGMRYS4 and the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Item # TGMRG25C if you have the Yukon XL. Both of these are constructed of a rubber compound and can be a little stiffer.

You also have the option of the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle Item # SSR-204-40. These are constructed of a foam compound and are compatible with both the Yukon and Yukon XL.

Both can be beneficial when used with air springs depending on how much you tow. In my professional opinion, having hands on experience with both of these, I would lean more toward the SumoSprings if you are going to add either. These springs are a foam compound that get stiffer as weight is added. As the weight of the trailer pushes the back of the vehicle down the foam compresses. The more it compresses the stiffer it gets to support the load so you get a much softer drop without the hit. At 50% compression these support a max load of 1000 lbs. Keep in mind this does not increase you vehicles max towing capacity.
