Default Ride height...

After parking my GX and disgorging rear seat passengers, the rear suspension lowers itself a hair. Does mean that the rear suspension is "active" in that it maintains a ride height when driving and parked? For what it's worth, I leave the manual rear suspension settings alone. Thanks!

THat's exactly what it is - active suspension. When the passengers "disgorge", the truck becomes lighter and "taller", so the suspension bleeds air to adjust the ride height to neutral setting.

Absolutely yes, the rear suspension is perfect. It is after you complete the ignition off, the compressor bleeds the air out and you get a kinda air bleed noise and the rear suspension lowers down, if you watch this carefully maybe 1/2 to 1 inch. Dont worry this os common amongst the GX. Coming the Manual setting, whatever you do, it maximum 8-15 mph, depending on the speed i suppose, it comes back to normal. so long!!
