When you hit the height control it basically inflates the air-bags to their fullest, thus lifting the rear upwards...in their fully-inflated condition they have little absorbancy. Imagine a water balloon under lots of pressure....
When I come to obstacles that require clearance...I "raise my butt"....but once past the obstacle, push the button and bring yourself down. Remember too, the higher you are the higher your center of gravity: the less stable you are over side-slopes and angles. You also loose that cushioned ride when your cushion is firmly inflated. GM has their 'auto-ride' system, that's why we have, but thanks for a clever idea, they merely use this auto-ride airbag to fully inflate to give us greater height, BUT GREATER HEIGHT ONLYL WHEN YOU NEED IT.
Think of your height control just like your rear locker: used on when needed and released when not needed. I truly believe....it's that simple.
