the remote reserviors are for sure. The 9000's aren't, I don't think. Some shocks like Ranchos are low pressure charged but the crappy shocks like the stock shocks are high pressure charged, therefore push apart when you take them off.

Re: Question - about rear shocks. NEED HELP QUICKLY!
Can anyone confirm if the OEM shocks from an H2 with Rear Air Suspension are gas charged or not? I am wondering if they put these gas charged shocks on just non-air H2s since they dont have the air bags.

Re: Question - about rear shocks. NEED HELP QUICKLY!
I just spoke to Rancho Tech Support and they researched the Hummer H2 shocks. He confirmed there is an issue here. He states the OEM shocks are high pressure 300psi monotube shocks. He went on to add that even their remote resevoir shocks that are gas charged are only 100psi and that the regular twin tube 9000s are considered no-pressure.
He stated this will cause the rear to be lower
This sux because I really like the shocks. I remember seeing somewhere on a link here, that there is a 1" coil spring spacer that I could use. Anyone know where this link is? I will try and search on it.
Another option is a stiffer coil spring if anyone knows of some?

Re: Question - about rear shocks. NEED HELP QUICKLY!
Ahhhhhh! This sucks. I just bought some 9000s and I don't want the reat to sag (I have air susp too). I have not yet installed them.
tomp,
Can you post some pix of the rear sagging?

tom does NOT have air. If you have air, it's not going to sag since the air controls the height regardless.

Re: Question - about rear shocks. NEED HELP QUICKLY!
Phil, yours were probably worn out
Paragon, strange thing is that the front OEM shocks are not gas charged.
