Replacement airbags

I'm looking to replace my airbags as preventative maintanence. There are no leaks but they are pushing 7 years old and since they get a workout when I tow my trailer I figure I should just replace them for some peace of mind. I have thought about the coil spring conversion but I like the air bags, especially when towing..

What are the part #'s and does anybody know of a good place/price for replacements?

Here is what I am wokring on for my rear end. I have a pair of these with some custom brakets.

http://www.airbagit.com/Air-Bag-Brackets-for-Lowering-p/bracket-03.htm

The bags are heavy duty rated at over 3049lb. per bag with a range of 11.50" Extended 2.8" Collapse 7.25" Diameter - Single 1/2" port airspring airbag.

The brackets take a little fabrication, but basically you add some dom tubing to get the spacers to the length you need for your application.

They also have tons of other options.. http://www.airbagit.com/v/vspfiles/pages/AirBags_PAGE.htm. I would give them a call and see what they come up with.. Airbag it can even weld up the spacers for you prior to shipping and all you need to do is bolt them in place. I am still working on my setup, but I will post picks later.

Another option is to do what Tomp did and add the Samco springs with a set of airbags inside the springs. I'll look for some pics of his setup also.

Those set ups look cool but I think I will just stick with the OEM bags for now. I dont have the time or money to get all custom...

Keep us posted on your set up.
