No guarantee but likely the SC rear shocks are using the patented Nivomat technology. I was interested in it, read it, and this weekend had a chance to test it. The below pictures show the empty standard ride height 38”, then I loaded 960 lbs of softener salt it dropped to 35.5”. If felt “wiggly” in the rear as I pulled out, within a mile about it seemed to stabilize and the vehicle tightened up noticeably. After an 18 mile interstate run at 70mph I unloaded and the rear suspension was up to 36.5”. Pointless to state the specifics of what my QX56 can handle but its rear air leveling suspension can just level back out if I keep the tongue weight below 500ish lbs so I’m impressed with this system providing an inch lift with 1000 lbs in the bed. I doubt it’s design is supposed to lift to original ride height anyway. The bed lifted to 38 3/8” as soon as I unloaded, forgot the final pic but you’ll have to trust that after 3 miles to the next store it had settled back to right at 38”. Tire temperature for those interested stabilized quickly on the interstate at 39psi indicating around a 25ish degree increase in tire temprature.

i found this before I took the Santa Cruz in for the warranty work. Might be work the look. Also it might lowered the truck 2 inches.

I finally inspected my rear shocks and they are leaking badly. I bought the extended warranty and apparently fly they are considering it covered. So I’ll be taking to to the Dealer to handle that. Hopefully it is handled quickly.

I have not inspected it yet, so I am not 100% sure. I’m just preparing for the worst possible scenario which would be to replace the shocks.

Had anyone had problems with the rear suspension? Since about a year ago my rear shocks have been making noise when I go over bumps. And nothing is in the bed that will rattle. Looks like the Hyundai warranty doesn’t cover suspension. But I think I found an eibach suspension kit that supposed to lower the truck about 2 inches that’s cost the same is one Hyundai original shock. Ideas or opinions please
