Derek, you should be able to purchase the harness from GM, or you could make your own switch harness, but you have to be sure that it will deflate to regular ride height once over 20km/h or else it will make your H2 unstable. BTW, anyone removing an air suspension system from an H2 would never go thru the work required to remove the entire harness. Since it is part of the Powertrain and Body computer systems. I love my factory rear air suspension and it has allowed me to compensate for heavy trailers, give a little more clearance off-road and of course the super smooth ride. They never made the system for the front since the weight is constant and space is at a premium. You do have some options though, for the rear you can install a set of firestone bags inside the coils which while being a compromise will give you similar benefits to the factory system, and they now have a system for the front suspension. The best part is, it is super affordable and very easy to install. I have the same system on my Suburban.

If only to make a suggestion, add a snorkle to your air pump, that filter will not be enough to keep contaminates out.  Place the snorkle under your hood somewhere safe where it can draw in clean air along with the filter. I'm on my second pump for my train horn due to the fact that I go off roading and get water and grit in it all the time.

That stupid sock is not waterproof, it's poly mirofbre and is meant to resist water, if it were waterproof you'd burn out your motor trying to draw air in.
