Question Tahoe Front Suspension system

Good afternoon, i recently got some work done on a 2008 Chevrolet tahoe ltz rwd suspension system front and rear however the rear suspension system is an air suspension system but the front ones are not i talked to the mechanic and he told me that thats how they are suppose to be but my dad, who changed the shocks the first time, keeps insisting that it had an air suspension in the front and back, and that the ones they installed are wrong. Does anyone know what kind of suspension system does it need to have in the front and back?

some people only put air bags in the rear. That's where the cargo sits

if it had air suspension up front there would be air lines that connect to the top of the strut assembly. most tahoes only have air shock absorbers in the rear and nothing up front. Some denali or Cadillac may oh had front and rear.

the base system...Its not a true air suspension...but rather a levelling system. real air suspension have air springs not air shocks.

You may have the electronic shocks, my '11 ltz does. You will see a harness plugging into the front struts as well as the rear air shocks.

Mira en las características y modelo de tu coche.
La suspensión se llama z55 autorride.
Algunos le anulan los amortiguadores delanteros porque salen costosos,
Pero si le pones inos normales, el autoride inteligente no funciona
