May have made a mistake.

I took my 2017 yukon XL in for brakes, they said the "air suspension is shot", they thought the air bag might be leaking because the pump kept coming on. I had been hearing the air pump running a lot more than normal so I knew it might be a problem. Here's where I may have screwed up, I asked them to disconnect the pump from power so that it doesn't burn up before i get it fixed.
Is this going to be a problem? I plan on getting it fixed soon either way.

Should I ditch the air shocks and convert all 4 to regular coil overs?

Probably 90% on here have stayed with the magnerride and 10% have changed. It really boils down to personal preference. You can order everything from Rockauto and a lot of times they have a discount code.

Why is Rock Auto no longer in the vendors list?

Years ago I had a bad rear, so I pulled the fuse and replaced the shock with Rock auto part a few weeks later.

Personally I’ve never been a fan of the air shocks I’d replace them with some fox or king shocks if your wallet allows it
The cheaper but still good option would be bilstein shocks

Your air shocks and compressor are wear items, just like any suspension component. What do you do with your Yukon? The auto level feature does a great job of keeping you’re vehicle level when towing. You did buy a vehicle with a premium suspension, and it seems like a majority of folks that I’ve seen here that think the air compressor and air shocks are too expensive to replace and swap them out end up not being happy with the results.

I, for one, would keep the auto level system intact and replace the components. Not having the compressor powered up will not hurt anything other than let the rear sag a little more than normal.

I would prefer to keep the air shocks, we do a lot of road trips and pack it pretty full, couple hundred pounds in the back. I put 5k miles on it since September and plan on towing with it in the next year. Just wondered what everyone thought. I'll replace the air shocks and while it's there maybe have them throw on a 2.5" leveling kit . Glad to hear it will be ok for a week without the pump.

I've had it both ways, as has @Big Mama, and we both prefer the OEM air shocks ride much better. But, this is a personal choice, and once you make it, you will live with it.

Dealer wants $1800 for 2 airshocks, labor extra, I told them to stuff it LOL. Might do it myself, looks pretty easy.
