Question Suburban 2017 /LT/Z71 : Softing Suspension

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum
Nice to be part of the community!

So my first thread is about suspension, as i live in the country where roads mostly full of seams, there are a lot of potholes, cracks, patches in places, even pits on the roads, the standard suspension is not very comfortable, when driving on such a road the whole car vibrates and makes a lot of noise.

I ordered Balstein 5100 on standard springs for now, still waiting will report how the ride quality changed after instalation, but at the same time I wanted to clarify whether air suspension can solve the problem?
It is necessary that it be very durable, and with interchangeable driving modes, so that it would be possible to sail like a boat on the most broken roads. Or make it tougher when entering the highway.

I will be very grateful for advice!

It's a truck, not a car, so it will ride ''rougher''. But for a truck the ride quality is very good.
Depending on the miles on the shocks new ones will make the ride better. Especially if you're at or over 100k miles.

Thank you for the reply.
Now it is about 50k miles on it.

But still i found there many differet options for air suspension
Would like to study it, or maybe there are softer coils springs that can be bought with Bilstein 5100.
