2005 Safari Panther Air bag replacement

The rear air bags are installed. Harbor freight saved the day with a 20 ton air jack and a very powerful short 1/2” impact. I had the frame blocked with 4x4’s but the from air bag won’t drop out from the front. No room. Had to raise the frame with the air jack until there was enough clearance between the tire and the floor to take them out between the rear tires and the tag tires. Monaco told me that my bags were all the same with the 1/4” air inlets. Shame On them. All of my bags are 3/4” inlet. Was able to use the 1/4” bags on the rear but had to send the front bags back and get different ones. Cost me a bundle in shipping. On the left front bag I removed the water door and was able to get to the top of the bag through the hole. Removed the left rear front shock and the drain hose tubing to make it easier. Any questions let me know. Click image for larger version

What part number did you use (the one with 3/4 inch inlet)?

Why did the 1/4 inch work on the front and not the rear?

Is there any noticeable difference in filling/dumping time or adjustment to road conditions with the smaller inlet port?

Unfortunately I don’t have the part numbers with me now. I used 3/4” in the front and 1/4” on rear. The air lines going to the rear are 1/4” so There wasn’t any fill problem.
