Loony79-

I can't help with your airbag question. But, I can suggest adding a signature to your iRV2 profile. A signature lists your coach/toad/misc. characteristics, so you don't need to put those in each post. Here's a post on how to add a signature.

You need to install firestone air bags.

Ours came with the Firestone bags in the front coils. They deteriorated completely after about 6 or 7 years. I ended up installing the Air Lift brand because of good reviews and the lifetime warranty. In the 6 or so years they've been in place, i've never had to add any air. In case the OP wants another option, i'm pretty sure Air Lift has applications for the rear of vehicles.
