To Air or not to Air:

Look, buying the air system is a no brainer if you bought the H2 to go off-road. Here is why:

1. You get free air inflation in a nicely contained package (no charging a portable or bumming air from my H2 when you need to reinflate),
2. A little nicer ride.
3. A method to raise the rear up to 2+ inches when you need a better departure angle (if you go off-road you will need this at least once)
4. The most important...it keeps the vehicle perfectly level to your liking side-to-side and front-to-rear when you load all your camping gear or tow anything. In other words, no butt sag.

I will tell you that it is not a good feeling when you are running some trails with a group and you need a little extra clearance for an obstacle and when asked to raise your rear height you have to say "I didn't buy the air bags". I have seen this twice already.

You make the choice based on how you plan to use it. But the best part for me is keeping the H2 perfectly level. I actually lowered my rear by adjusting the air bag levers. It took that little rake out of the back. Now it sits perfecto everytime.

Good luck with whatever choice you make.
