FIRST! THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO... I've had my 2002 H2 Hummer for 15 years and the original OEM Air Bags lasted 8 years, before they developed a slow leak. I bought a set of AFTERMARKET BAGS for $140 a PAIR and those lasted another 7 years, but a month ago ie; July 12, 2024 the aftermarket bags began leaking and now it takes four days of sitting and the truck body bottoms out on the back, so... I am about to change the air bags for the SECOND TIME in 15 YEARS. I would be absolutely pompous and irresponsibly WHINY to complain about the cost, which will be $280 for 2 sets of bags (When I bought the first set of aftermarket replacements 7 years ago... I BOUGHT TWO SETS and kept one set stored in the box on a shelf.) I have driven my Hummer from Las Vegas to the Atlantic Ocean 12 times in 15 years, in 2020 my wife and I took a 22 state, 8,400 mile, 2 month Road Trip around America and in 2023 we did it again with a 20 state, 2 month 7,400 mile Road Trip, we drive it on highways OCEAN TO OCEAN, BORDER TO BORDER and we drive it OFF-ROAD to places if the if the truck breaks, somebody is likely to die... no services whatsoever for dozens of dozens of miles in any direction. So, tomorrow morning ie; Monday Sept. 9th, 2024, I will take the 30 minutes it requires (VERY EASY JOB!) to replace my air bags once again, PERHAPS ONE OF THE QUICKEST AND CHEAPEST REPAIRS ON ANY OF THE 56 VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. I WILL CHANGE THEM OUT WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE. At 70 YEARS-OLD, this might be the last time I change air bags on MY HUMMER H2. Tomorrow is my 54th Wedding Anniversary, so I have to make the air bag change out a quick and painless repair....

I agree, the cost for good quality replacement air bigs are pricey, but there are some many more advantages over switching to cook springs. The ride quality is far better, having rig self-level whether your hauling a load of bricks or pulling a loaded trailer is worth the cost, and having air on demand has proven itself to justify the repair also. No real perk ( in my opinion) for switching to coil. Thanks for sharing your story and your great pics. 🎉HAPPY Anniversary, to you and your wife!!!
Heads up my compressor stopped working after battery change so you might try and reset codes I did buy some springs off EBAY as well they had good prices
That a good question! I honestly don’t know, as they were previously installed before I took ownership. I’ve been thinking of getting some new wheels one day and I need to measure them so that if I sell’em I can properly list them. Definitely adding that to do on “the to do list. “ Thanks for being that up.👍
I’m not sure about the brand of airbags, it didn’t have any brand name on it. These were purchased off Amazon, from JDMON store. Here’s the link to the air bags I bought. 👍 JDMON 2 Pcs Rear Air Spring kit Air Suspension Bags Replacement for Hummer H2 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009, Replaces 15172563,15190519,15938306, Air Shocks Struts, Pair Left & Right a.co/d/bqPx4QL

Good work !
Thanks!
What is the back spacing on your h2 wheels?
That a good question! I honestly don’t know, as they were previously installed before I took ownership. I’ve been thinking of getting some new wheels one day and I need to measure them so that if I sell’em I can properly list them.

What brand of air bags did you use?
I’m not sure about the brand of airbags, it didn’t have any brand name on it. These were purchased off Amazon, from JDMON store. Here’s the link to the air bags I bought. 👍
