Silly question... rear shock or rear air bag fail?

[eclipsegst97]

rear end is squatting and running on bump stops
I replaced the bags 7 months ago.
Compressor wont run for 3 secs then an hour later wont even pump for a second. have not noticed running Overtime lately.
470 for last 3 weeks I have noticed it hitting small bumps more harshly lately, not terrible but not bad. With the ride select you could sense a difference between sport and comfort.

So air bag issue ? compressor issue? or rear shock blown?
if rear shocks are blown rear end squats but will the compressor lift it ( if compressor isnt burned out l will jump the relay and test it later)

Have some ride height sensors on order as well just in case.
the plan is
1- inspect ride height sensor ( see if broken off, if so replace)
2- jump relay of compressor, see if it has burned out ( if so replace
3- inspect rear shock , even remove it see if blown. ( if so replace)
4- replace air bags if steps above dont show issues or doesnt resolve

Thoughts?

The shock only acts as a damper and can't really hold up much weight on it's own. It's sitting on the bump stops it is airbag-related.

Another option would be to just do a coil conversion and remove the compressor. I liked the airbags in my GX and wanted to keep them, but ended up coil converting after they started leaking. It rides and handles better IMO with coils.
