I got my last set on Ebay, last year about this time. Less than a hundred bucks.

Here's a good replacement procedure:

Install the remote fill lines to make checking pressure easier. Also, I use these (do internet search they are about $2.50 each): 'Tire Pressure Monitor Valve Stem Caps - HEX Style'

I run mine at 70PSI - on a P32 16,500 lb chassis.

I replaced ours with the Air Lift 1000 bags a few years ago. Matched the model number of their bags to my rig, then ordered them through our local Autozone store. Lifetime warranty and so far, haven't leaked any. Installing them was a booger but i got em in...

I should have knocked on wood at my last post. Went out to check pressures Friday afternoon and found the passenger side's bag deflated. Tried to inflate but the leak was apparent. Called the company before leaving for the lake but had to leave a message. Got home today (Sunday) and found that they did call back. Will see what they have say when i hollar back at them during business hours tomorrow.

Thought i'd post a follow up.

Got a hold of the Air Lift company, told them what was going on, and got a replacement bag put in the mail the next day. It arrived yesterday, the 15th, and i installed today.

As suspected, getting the old one out was a booger and a half. Cut on it, pulled on it, pryed on it, and finally got it removed. Was dreading installing the new one but to my surprise, it seemed to go in a little easier than the one i installed a few years ago. Inflated, test drove, and we're back in action. I wasn't sure why the first Air Lift bag went out but it was nice that the company stood behind their product. Thanks to them for that...

Quick question: Has anyone tried removing and reinstalling via taking the front end apart? I noticed while underneath, that 4 bolts held the lower A-arm to the frame. Had a notion that if i removed those, along with the shock, that i might be able to drop that end of the A-arm enough to get the spring out. Wouldn't mess with the ball joint end. I'm supposing that spring pressure might still be an issue so it's probably not a good idea to try this at home.

This is how you do it and If I were you I'd be leaving the the a arms in place.

I replaced mine on a 96 P32 through the center hole. Getting them out was easy, you just cut them up and use vice grip to yank them out. Putting in the new bags was very difficult. You roll them in a cylinder shape, tie them to keep them in that shape (I used nylon tie wraps and then you insert into hole, twist, push, shove, cuss, twist, cuss some more. I found that once you force the air out of the new bags put the air cap back on, tighten the tie wraps, then take the air cap off and tighten the tie wraps even more. I also used rubber lubricant to help ease the pain.

mine finally arrived and I'm gonna tackle it on Saturday. sounds like it is gonna be fun

There is no way that these air bags are fitting through the hole in the lower control arm. Its way to small and the bags will not squeeze or let me smash them even close to that???
