All H2s have air ride suspension or?

Your opinion, You got unlucky once. I offroad ALOT and have never had a problem with the air bags...

I have the air suspension on my H2 and love it. I offroad every time I go out, since I live in a wooded area that you can only access down a dirt/mud and gravel trail and through a small creek. Emergency responders have warned their equipment might not get through in an emergency and my homeowners rates reflect that, but I love where I live and if it wasn't for 4 X 4s it would be impossible to live here full time.
I always keep the rear aired up since coming down the hill makes scraping the spare a real possibility. I'm not sure what the speed is, but I think it's around 40mph where it squats back down. I haven't had any problems with the bags or the sensors either. I also carry a Sears 12v compressor in the bed (it's much faster than the Hummer unit) but I've used the Hummer compressor on numerous occassions. Having two compressors makes airing up much faster. I have a battery in the bed too in parallel with the front battery that I can disconnect with one of those green twist off switches. I love my H2 and the air suspension.

Uhhh Jim,

I just wanna make sure I got this right... You live in the remote wilderness??? You're good at wiring stuff??? You need a 4x4 to even get to your house??
Do you like to send send packages to people that when they open the get a superize? lol

Anyway I have the air ride. I blew a bag out offroading at Windrock a couple weeks ago. Sounded like a shotguy going off. The plastic nipple under the bag that bolts to the axle failed. I still had 2 miles of mountain to climb to get to a gravel road. I still made it up the trail on the bump stops and did not slow my group down. I was VERY impressed. However my undercarriage did not enjoy this too much lol. I had a new bag in the truck and repaired the nipple with JB weld and 2 part epoxy and was on the trail the next day. Now the nipple is stronger than it was when stock.

I had air ride on my 03 H2 and it had a leak when I was up in NC so the compressor ran all the time until I got back to FL. Took it to the dealer and $6000.00 later all is well. I need the air because I tow a trailer.

Hmmmmmm..... glad I have no air. I tow a small aluminum boat, no problems. But any one can tow this boat. I guess if you really need the air then all well and good. But sound like its just something else that could break at the worst of times.
