Bob check with your local big truck spring and alignment shop. By the time the dust settled I paid them $500 more than I could just buy the bags for.

We needed to have the airbags replaced on our coach. We wanted to have the work done at our local shop in Tucson. I called FOT Parts department and got the part numbers from them ... there are different airbags on the tag than on the other axels. Once I had the part numbers, I started looking online. Not every place has them ... some are Goodyear, some are Firestone (?).  Don't remember ... but in our case, some of them are uncommon and not easily available. I finally found a source that was rather cheaper than FOT and they were shipped directly to our repair place in Tucson.  There is always 1 or 2 that give a problem, so the labor hours are estimated and need a discussion with the billing department after the fact. I asked both FOT and MOT what hours they estimated and why before making the decision to have the work done locally or make the drive to Nac.  In the end, it was a tad cheaper ... and I avoided the always present temptation of having added nifty things done "just because ....  since we are already here".

I don't have a tag axle but these fit the U280,  got them from Michigan Truck Spring.
Here is another link, plenty of photos of air bag replacement on the forum too I believe.
