Air ride Suspension shot, keep or bypass?

[FamilyGuy]

I decided to stay stock, and I'm regretting it.
I ordered replacement shocks from Arnott. Unfortunately my passenger side shock is not getting air from the compressor.
Driver side is holding air, but other side isn't. Compressor is running off and on.
Any ideas? Could compressor be weak?
I've checked the system for leaks and didn't find any.

Thanks.

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I just bought a 2010 LTZ two months ago and found out from the dealership today that the two rear shocks are bad? Apparently the previous owner pulled the compressor fuse so it wouldn't go bad. Cost to replace the two is $1130. I will potentially be towing a boat this summer so I guess my only option is to have them replaced.

Unfortunately, I have NEW, or refurbished, shocks that still do not work.
My compressor keeps going off, but I guess it's weak.
There's no Leaks, so my guess is air is leaking at the compressor?

Not true. I've done many trucks lowered or stock height with autoride bypassed and with airlift helper Bags toes perfectly fine

Sorry, I wasn't referring to the towing, just to my particular situation with my replacement shocks. Actually, I'm wishing I had bypassed it.

I kept mine stock. Figure I paid enough for the auto ride, may as well keep it

Yup it is such a great feature and seems silly to bypass it...but after all the problems I've had over the last two years I wish I bypassed it all too!
