Well about a month ago my H2 started making a clunking noise when shifting from lo to high. Then one time it hung in between lo and high out in the woods. I was able to rock the truck (pure muscle) and the transfer case went back into gear. This time the transfer hung in my driveway and had to be towed in. When it got to the dealer it had slipped back in gear. First they told me it was a motor that had gone bad and they ordered the motor. Yesterday when I called, the service writer said he wasn't sure what the Tech was telling him, except they were going to have to replace the transfer case!!!!
Of course he hinted that the lift kit could void the warranty. I think they use that excuse anytime they want to get out of paying for something. Not sure of anything else yet, I will go by there today and get more details.. besides having the lift kit I rarely go off road, maybe 6 time in 12 months.

Actually air bags will stay on after the truck is off to keep it level(if there is a slow leak). And the issue on a lift is that while the truck is raised the height sensor sees the truck being at max height so it releases the air from the bags trying to lower the ride height. So when you let the truck all the way down off the lift, with no air in the bags, there is always the possibility of damaging the air bags.

I am not really sure what your point is here?

How would lifting it void the warranty? That does not make any sense to me.

I know air will stay in the bags when the truck is off and that it does not discharge it.
Again, no problems, ever, with mine being lifted. Of course, I could just be lucky...

I heard that when an H2 with air bags is on a lift, the driver's side door needs to be left open. This will keep the air bags from trying to fill. Not sure if this is true but might be worth checking out.

You have to be making all of this up. There is no way this could really be happening.
That dealership better offer you something after all of this.

Day 4, at dealership. Today their tring to get it in the transmission shop (must be different from where they do all the minor repair. Dealer called his tech has spent 2 hours trying to figure how to get it on the lift.. apparently the skyjacker trailer arms come out to far..
I told him to unbolt the arm, so they are going to try that.
I have a good relationship with this dealership, I'm hoping they cover everything that is defective. I have a good feeling about them, but I will let you know how it unfolds.

Talked to the service manager. He is going out of town for a week and no one else can order parts. They are going to pull transmission and transfer case monday, determine what needs repairing then wait until he returns in one week. That means at least 2 more weeks without my truck.

Got my truck back today!! WEEEEEE
However, my front drive shaft is in my back seat. Seems that when the ST removed the front drive shaft a bolt broke in the front yolk. Due to a misunderstanding between the ST & SM, the ST thought it was an aftermarket yolk and refused to replace it. NOt telling me anything until this AM when they called and said your truck is ready!!!
I think after some strong words today we have that problem solved and a new yolk is being ordered.
Had to post this, I can't believe it when I read it myself.

Update Week 3
After replacing the brake line, there was an air bag leak that took all day to fix. Somehow the brake line got bent again and a new one is being sent over night.(Told them to order 2 brake lines this time)
Maybe I'll see the truck again before it fully depreciates!!

I've seen big rigs with air bags on a lift. They loop a chain around the axle & frame on both sides to hold the axle up.
I always thought the issue was that you don't want the weight of the rear suspension pulling down on the air bags.
