Everyone I've seen around Tahoe with the air suspension starts to take on that pre-runner look I'm guessing from wear over time. / I would say 99.9% of the Rover crowd in Tahoe replaces them with a shock and spring kit from one of the many on the market. Especially the Range Rover Classic Crowd up here.
I'm all for modern innovation but I'd take roll down windows as an example of just one less thing to break. I think it's funny that my W126 Benz would run forever on its mechanical system but one CPS sensor could cripple my 7.3L Power Stroke if it shorted out.

SLS is air suspension. If you know you don't have SLS you know you don't have air suspension. The airbags would be in place of the coil springs in the rear.

Why would you have to ask that question????????????????????????????? I would think you have been on line long enough to know what your own truck has for options.
Get your owners manual out and read it cover to cover 2 or 3 times.

You would have a button on the dash for the SLS (I assume I don't have either) and if you had ACE you would have a double tank instead of a single one for your PAS. Also the ACE has it's own pump between the PAS pump and AC compressor.

Yeah... I laid on my back under the rover for about 30 min looking at everything before I bought her. I still do it religiously about once a week!

Its an amazing feeling when she's on top..... (The rover that is)

haha, thanks ! well, the 2 things left to do in the 60k service are : Transmission fluid change w/ filter replacement, and PAS fluid change. i get those done and i have done the 60k service. yesterday i replaced that K&N Air filter with a factory one. left the dealer all happy and smilin, this guy was driving a Kia with his Girl Friend or whatever, and he passed me. the girl was checkin out the rover, checkin me out, smilin back and givin me "eyes"... i blushed and was proud that i own this truck and that i dont drive a Kia.
back to truck stuff, i gotta get an oxygen sensor replaced under warranty next week i got an appointment. and that hopefully will solve my 1170 and 0137 codes...
