Maybe. I'm just wondering if it could be an airline or the sensor. Is there a release valve that let's sit out of the airbags when weight is added or a sensor that tells them when to let air out?

Where can I get the air bags? Any recommendations? What do they cost? Maybe I will replace them and see what happens.

Re read my post.... change out the air bags, It doesn't matter if your h2 has 20k or 200k, fact of the matter is their 10 years old & dry rotted.. Visual inspection is useless, spray them with soapy water to check for leaks.. even then it might not show up... imo for under $300 (new bags) & 1 hour of your time you can be done with it

Yes. I think I agree with you. I just wanted to be sure.

Should I go to my local auto parts store to order the airbags or is there somewhere else I shoukd go? Thank you.

You won't find them at your local auto parts store, I would use gm direct or your local gm dealer

Great. Thanks to everyone for all of the help.

I just ordered them online via the above link. Thanks for the link. That made it easy.

I just watched the video on YouTube. Is it really that easy. No tools needed. Jack it up. Cut the bag. Twist it off. Pop the airline off. Any pointers? The airline has me a little worried.

Bump. Just tracked the airbags. They will be here in 2 days. Any tips on installation? My main concern after watching the video is getting the airline off and on..... Any suggestions or instructions? Thank you.

This pretty much covers it, just hold down the fittings & pull with all you got .. It will come off
