saggy butt :(

After years of taunting me with the SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION warning, she finally crapped out.

What's weird is, shouldn't the rear end be ALL the way down if the bags went? It's low but still driveable (nice & bumpy tho..)

Springs are on their way from gmpartsdirect...hope she lasts until they get here!

Mines done that. Someone ran into the back of me and somehow my exhaust moved and burnt a hole in the airbag from rubbing up against it. I was towing my jetski and the whole back just dropped on my tires which was pretty embarrassing. Got a tow truck and a whole new airbag and it's been good ever since. Sorry to hear that happen though

There are bump stops on the frame which contact the axle to prevent the tire from complete bottoming out. The Air bags are fairly cheap to replace and there are some write-ups and even a Video on Youtube which go through the steps. It is pretty simple, especially if the original springs already have decompressed. Good luck with it. Cheers, Indy.

Dumb question: are the rear coils & spacers all I need to order to replace the air suspension?
My mechanic told me I need a $325 "conversion kit" which replaces the shocks as well. I hope that's not the case because I already ordered the coils & spacers from GMparts direct! (got the part #s from the forum)
Thanks all.

I guess that's one way to 'level' the truck out...lol.
