Resistor-Based Suspension Bypass
The Ride Height & Shock Sim Kit is a resistor-based suspension bypass designed for GM platforms. It electrically simulates both shock loads and ride height sensor signals to prevent suspension warnings when factory components are removed or modified.
Unlike our OBD/SS solutions, this kit requires a ride height trim procedure using a scan tool after installation. Proper calibration is mandatory for correct operation. The kit is best suited for experienced installers.
This solution remains effective when installed correctly, but does not offer the same level of system integration or long-term reliability as our OBD-based modules.
This kit functions as a GM suspension bypass resistor, designed to replicate the electrical load expected by the factory suspension control module. Matching the resistance values of the original suspension components. It prevents warning messages and fault codes when ride height or suspension components are modified.

At ShockSims, we are the original innovators for creating an OBD style bypass. By using our OBS/SS you keep the logic in your dash and out of the dirt, we ensure consistent, track-ready performance.
At times resistor-based simulators that sit out in the elements, burn out, crack or blow. These resistor solutions can be unreliable under real-world stress.
We highly recommend you purchase our OBD/SS Classic if you are considering this kit. We offer an OBD Splitter or Pass-thru cable if you are currently using your OBD port.
Working in conjunction with our OBD/SS MagneRide Delete Module or resistor-based Shock Simulators, the ShockSims Ride Height Simulators allow you to replace the factory MagneRide suspension system, along with raising or lowering your vehicle. This plug-and-play device connects directly to the vehicle's wiring harness.
Unlike our OBD solutions, this kit uses fixed resistors to provide a simple, reliable electrical bypass for supported GM suspension systems. The Shock Simulators connect directly to the vehicle's wiring harness where the Shock used to connect. The Shock Simulator ends are encased in epoxy to help disperse heat generated by the resistor.
Simply plug in our Ride Height Simulators and Shock Simulators to remove suspension related dash warnings.
