Lift/Level with Air Suspension

[GeauxinUp]

Looking to level out my '26 Limited with 4 corner air, and didn't know it could be this simple. Am I missing something here? Just some links that will level it out?
Talked to the owner and he recommended the combo (raise front and lower rear), instead of doing the full level by raising the front. I ordered THESE this morning, so I guess we'll see how it goes.

I had those on the 2021 Limited I used to own. The only downside was that I could no longer use the OR2 setting because it maxed out the front. But other than that it worked out great.

Thanks Mike, did you use just the front links or both front and rear?

I used just the front. There was still a slight rake but it was close enough for me. And cost quite a bit less lol. I still have a couple pics...

Nice. As I said earlier, according to the owner at Airlinks, if I use both front and rear links to level, I’ll still have full use of entry/exit all the way up to OR2. We shall see I reckon.

That's interesting because he was the person who told me I would lose OR2 either way because it's the front that has the issue. The links lift the front higher than stock, and the OR2 setting would be beyond the physical limitation of the front air dampers with the new front links. It really didn't matter to me because I never used that setting anyway. If he's now telling customers that they can retain OR2 they must have changed something. Maybe not going as high with the front and dropping the rear more than they used to? Just a guess but the owner seemed very knowledgeable and willing to help with any issues.

But, also like you…losing OR2 wouldn’t be the end of the world for me either.

@mikeru or anybody else that can help...I wanted to follow up on this. I did end up with the front and rear airlinks, and got them dialed in where the truck sat damn near perfect. The problem was two things...
1. I lost the entry/exit mode. When the rear would come down, it would error out and jack the rear back up and put the suspension in service mode. Not a huge deal, but I like the look of entry/exit when parked.
2. The ride was pretty bad in all modes, felt almost like I was riding around on old school hydraulics, and would be harsh on pretty much any little bump. Leaving out of my driveway felt like it was going to rip the suspension out from underneath (like a topped out shock)

I took the airlinks off and am back to stock.

My perfect solution would be to bring the front up 1" and the rear down 1" (truck sits exactly 2" high in the rear), while maintaining factory ride, and air settings. But, I haven't been able to find anything that fits that bill.
I forgot to mention earlier that I do have the off-road package, so I don't have OR2. Entry/Exit, Aero, Normal, & Off-Road.

The "best" solution I've found so far is this ReadyLift 1.5" level kit with UCA's, and I may end up with that if I can't figure out my perfect solution mentioned above.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
