Question:

Can someone explain why the adapive ride control makes a differance for air ride installation? I have one with and one without and Im not seeing any major differances between the twotrucks.

Hey Scott, thanks for reaching out!

I spoke with my contact at Air Lift and they didn't deny it fitting with the Adaptive Ride Control on your 2025 GMC Sierra 1500, they just said that the air bag kit will essentially "fight" with the Adaptive Ride Control so they don't recommend using them together.

Do you have an AT4 or Trail Boss model? I know those both have the Adaptive Ride Control and it looks like we have a few that fit those models so I'd be interested to see why those would be recommended.

Are you needing support in addition to the OEM air ride kit?

Only the denali and denali ultimate have adaptive ride control and I have a denali ultimate. Neither the AT4 or Trail boss have ARC....

@ScottS My bad, I misread an internal update we had on them. I went back and reread it and there was confusion about those models having the ARC, but we ultimately said it doesn't. Sorry for the confusion!
