2008 Denali Sagging?

Wouldn't the autoride give me an error?

Not sure, 'cause the shocks can operate fine without much air pumped into them. So, if you have a slow leak, then maybe you wouldn't get a warning. When my front shock crapped out, apparently there was fluid leaking from it, and I got the error light.

I think your springs are sagged. Shocks aren't really going to affect the ride height especially when stationary. the springs hold the vehicle at a certain height. The bags will air up and help with that but when the air is out of them, the springs will dictate the height. Maybe they are sagged from overloading but I have to admit, that condition is pretty rare. Springs are a lifetime part and never need to be serviced. Have any rust issues? Perches rusted?
Remedy, get a new set of OEM springs and throw them in. Cheap and easy to do.

Interesting, I'll take a look at the springs.

Another intersting thing happened this weekend.

The compressor did kick on this weekend and souonded like it was going to BLOW UP!! LOUD and only was on for about 10 seconds.

Loud as in, shut the car off loud!!

I wonder if the compressor is shot and not pumping it up to height?

So, shocks look fine, compressor looks ok.

OEM the best way to go for new springs? Best place to buy online?

Thanks in advance!
