I have been doing a lot of research and still have some confusion. Air lifts website they do not work with ARC. Etrailer.com Q&As that are conflicting. Some of them say some firestone air bag will work. It appears the active suspension 4611 and 4611-HD will work with ARC, however you have to deal with the rear being lifted 2 inches and harsh ride if you choose the HD. Not sure the non-HD would even help much. Another non air lift option would be the Hellwig 81912 helper springs. Was told they harsh up the ride as well but unsure. Final non air lift option is the Timbren which might work but was told when you hit a bump you will feel it as well.

What I really want to do is use the 88288 and the Smart Air II to maintain the consistent ride height to be a complete solution. I spoke with a Service manager at the local GM shop and he felt there wouldn't be any issue (throw suspension error codes) and had seen lots of trucks with air bags/lift. Has anyone done this and how did it work out? Thanks in advance.
 
I am also researching air bags for a new Sierra Denali and have found the same thing. However, I did find the READYAIR 2019-2023 GM 1500 LOAD LEVELING HELPER SPRING KIT. I called Ready Lift and they said it would work with ARC. I don't know enough about the ARC system to understand why these would work but other air bags kits won't. Any thoughts?
