There was an air ride suspension option on certain years and trim levels that had a compressor set up the right side, IIRC, of the rear compartment. It had nothing to do with airing tires.

I thought the Envoy's, Bravada's, and maybe Trailblazer's had an air ride, and that you could in fact use the compressor to air up tires and pool toys etc.

My GMC Jimmy Diamond edition has the Rear Air Ride Suspension and besides keeping the air shocks at the right level there is an inside air compressor to use to air up tires and pool toys etc. In fact there is an accessory kit that you can purchase that provides a length of air hose and fittings which I purchased.

Attached is a press release for the GMC Jimmy Diamond Edition. My Jimmy has all options except Sunroof/Moonroof or OnStar.

Special Equipment Package adds to the above:
· High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps
· Automatic load-leveling suspension system
· On-board emergency/recreational air compressor
· Six-disc CD changer
· Rear seat audio controls

You did not read my last post. My Jimmy does have a air compressor to fill up tires and toys. It is on the right side of the cargo area. I even have the accessory kit that includes an air hose and fittings.
