What are you looking to spend on a 4.8is? I have an '06 with 76k in perfect condition, all records and has not been molested at all. It's loaded with every option and everything works!

I have it listed on Cars.com for $23,500 or best offer.

Usually the air bags start to leak and then need to be replaced or the fittings are failing and letting air out of those lines. Those are the two biggest and most common problems with Air Suspension.

Also on the level adjustment switch, when you press it. Nothing comes on at all. No lights, no movement.

I'd pass on both. They seem to have been modified in one way or another, and not in a good way of any kind IMO.

The 4.8 looks dropped a lot to me, and if the ride is bouncy??? Stiff, I get, but bouncy??.. that's going to be o.k. for a while since its a new ride for you, but you will get sick of it quick, I can almost guarantee it. Then you're going to be trying to get the stock parts back on it, or get a decent lowering kit on it.. all of which add up to PITA time,, and $$$$ to boot.

Again your call for sure. But why not start bone stock, and get the mods done yourself and make it yours, not someone else's idea of individualization..
