Has anyone tried putting larger tires under a truck with the newer air level suspension and lifting the truck because I don't think you can lift the truck all the way up and still drive down the freeway. Comfortably so is anyone tried this?

New air level? This suspension setup has been around for years.

And no, if you lift the suspension up using the factory setup, it will lower back down at a certain speed. You can, however, put an actual lift kit on with this suspension setup.

You can do a body lift too, just a thought.

So it lowers back down at a certain speed I didn't know that. So if you put larger tires say 35s then when it lowers back down cruising the front tires May rub or the back tires May rub at that point?

I believe you can override the automatic lowering in your UConnect settings.

The only thing you can do is turn off AERO mode. but it will still lower from OffRoad 2 at about 20 mph and OffRoad 1 at about 45 mph. The easy option is adjustable links to trick the height sensors. Or get the 4" BDS suspension lift for air ride equipped trucks. I've been digging into AlfaOBD a bit and comparing info from other threads to change the height setting in the BCM. But so far I haven't had the time to do the measurements and figure out what numbers I need to input to make the proper amount of lift.
