my idea and input is either Run what you have, or if your air bags are rotted to the core, ask around for some good used bags and use air valves
right on the bag. a good bag will hold the height, and drive just as well down the road. However I know that most campsites I go to, I use the
up/down/side to side to get the coach level. There are plenty of times If the rear is high, it is so simple to drop the air in the bag to level the
coach, rather then try to drive the front on blocks. usually gravel and grass campsites, can make climbing up on blocks of more then an inch or two
a bit of a task. My onboard air system does work now, but for many years it did not, I just had a portable compressor I would hook up to the bags
to inflate them, or if I did not have to drop them far, I would just hit the truck stop and air the bags back to travel height manually.
Lots of people are switching from OEM to an aftermarket airbag system such as sully and Alex F, so it seems like there are getting to be enough used
bags with some life left in them to go around.
otherwise get a sully or Alex F air bag system and be done with it.
not sure about that link, I thought it was mostly on facebook. Good for him, but I would think that would be my last choice to put metal coil
springs in place of the airbags, and if someone was shopping for a coach, and looked at a coach with truck springs, that would be a huge deterrent in
purchase/sale value.
