I have it on mine; and wouldn't have it any other way! You have to buy the PIII Package, which imnsho, has lots of pretty much useless stuff; but that suspension alone is well worth the price. Before ordering, I test drove a standard suspension; and it was "adequate".

With the Airmatic, at the push of a button, you can go from regular driving to "Comfort" when going through potholes, speed bumps and/or whatever kinds of road roughness you may encounter; and it most definitely smooths it out. That same button will put you in "Sport" mode to have it handle curvy mountain roads almost like a sports car. The Airmatic is way more than "adequate".

Get the HID lighting package while you're at it, too. It's another performance item well worth its price.
