Firestone Air Bag Kits w/free shipping

I found a leak in my driver's side, far rear air bag. The $137 deal seems to be gone but I ordered three W01-358-9948 Firestone bag kits (kit has the bottom and top plate included) for $157.95/each DELIVERED, no tax and 3 to 4 working day UPS/w tracking number. 2 year or 200K mile warranty. They have or should have said had 16 in stock. Sent me immediate email and shipped within a couple of hours.

Firestone Airide Replacement Air Spring - w01-358-9448 - w01-358-9448 | $157.95

Ordered an extra for a spare. Will foto and document the entire replacement process as soon as they arrive.

My post at the top was 9 years ago when the Conti airbags were not available. Continental Tire and Rubber makes excellent products and their bag should be at least as good as the Firestone. In other words, by spending twice as much, you are not gaining anything.

I am confused, how did you start a post that is 9 years old?

I posted air bag numbers in the parts thread for the OReED.
 For my 87-88 Oshkosh;
  To swap the front bags the axle has to get dropped.  The bolts retaining the axle  have  "punched" ends enough that the nuts wont come off.    I used a die grinder to reduce the OD at the end of the studs and the nuts came off. 
 Drain the water tank .
 I made a pair of BA jack stands, placed on the frame rails.
 I added a couple of 4x4  block stands.
 I dropped the front leveler jacks .
 Remove one wheel. 
Loosen all of the nuts, remove the shock lower nuts ,  the ride height lever, etc.
  Drop the side with missing wheel  until you can remove the air bag plate.  A sawzall will cut the upper  air fitting . if it is corroded.

Hoping to be around for a lot longer. :D No, I didn't originate the latest bag post. Someone copy/pasted it.
