Has anyone replaced the rear air ride with coil overs? I have a leak in one of my air shocks and I'm debating replacing both of them just in case something else happens!

The air portion is just the shocks, not springs too. There are already coil springs back there for supporting the rear of the vehicle. All you need to replace is the shock, which you can replace with non air ones if you would like. But you will have to delete/bypass the air compressor and electronics or you will be getting warnings and such.

I think I need a new system. The compressor runs all the time it seems like. Is that normal? I just bought the vehicle and I don’t know much about the system yet.

Not normal for the compressor to run all the time. Pull the fuse for the compressor, until you find the source of the issue (probably a blown rear shock air bladder), so that you don't burn out the compressor.

Any idea where that fuse is? ha

Also, the dorman unit (compressor assembly)has served me well. It comes with a lifetime warranty, which I took advantage of after 5 years or so. The compressor started sounding weak. Quick claim with rockauto and the cost of shipping, I had a new unit. The shocks, stick with oem
