Default another shocks question (bypass shock, no conversion)

question; when I install this bypass shock:
https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...432805&jsn=827
what do I loose in terms of functionality? only the setting for setting the suspension damping soft/hard correct?
the airbags will still work? I do like the auto-leveling since I am towing quite a lot....

There is no "auto leveling" in the front.
That Arnott is just a shock, it has no dampening adjuster in the shaft, hence the motor module that sits atop the OEM shock must be eliminated, etc.
So when you adjust the stiffness from the dial next to shifter, only the rears will change if they are OEM or OEM-style.
