Hey all,
I would like some opinions on what you think is better for the Hummer H2. Air rides or coil shock suspension? I am in the market for a H2 and am looking at two. One with Coil/spring and one with air ride. I have no experience in this field so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all. :-)

 

I have had one of each and they are both good. I cant tell the difference going down the road. I liked having an air source in the cargo area to air up a tire and I also like the simplicity of the coil springs. I would say either will be fine.

 

I liked my air suspension on the H2.

 

Considering your location and parts availability. I would go with the coils. The coils will last indefinitely while the air suspension is going to be a pain in the *** sometime down the road is inevitable. The bags are cheap enough but if the compressor goes. Your into some butt hurt there $$$.

When I was looking air suspension wasn't a deal breaker but I was certainly hoping to find a good one with coils. Parts for these trucks aren't cheap so I wanted to avoid more unnecessary expense if possible.

 

Aussie the airride setup sure feels better and like others mention you get the airoulet in the back , with the coils setup you will be better of when it comes to fixing of replacing anything ...
so to fix probrlems AirRide = drive by colonoscopy
Coils springs = easy in your wallet .....

 

Air ride good when truck is less than 8 to 10 years old after that you probably had to replace the air springs at least once that's fine but after you will need to replace the compressor relays up the cuzzu then leveling sensors and a few other fine things lol I owned my 06 from new I have 98000 on it and I just switched why because the compressor blew I cannot tell the difference in the ride and I sleep better at nite lol

 

Oh and for those who like the on board air supply I bought a Kobalt portable air compressor 12v and 120v it fits right in perfectly in the storage compartment right over the wheel well right next to the on board one lol and it works better.I have the air compressor kit with hose built in gauge and all attachments along with the leather pouch OEM brand new 150. Its yours
