Anybody happens to have useless serviceable original model air bag ?
We are going try to run this season with original rear suspension and we don´t have spare one.
Last summer when bags were out I noticed that one was slightly hotdogged and has small leak.
My friend is now working couple months in Los Angeles area and he might be able to pick parts from reasonable distance (he´s also going in Northern CA and AZ at some point).
Also interested Chrome rear bumper, Ragusa step, Ragusa mirror arms (any experiences about those arms?).

Jake, there were several at the swap meet at last weeks GMCMI rally. I'd suggest you also post this on the forum or mailing list so the email folks see it. The email folks don't read the web site much.

Thank you for links, but I try to find some low price solution for spare one (if we have spare, old ones will survive this season).
One of next winters projects will be upgrade to Sullybuilt or 4-bag and new air compressor.

Jake, you could by one set of Sully brackets and one new style airbag for around $300. It is a direct bolt-in replacement for the stock bags, including the airline. You could keep it for your spare until you are ready to get a second one and upgrade the entire vehicle. IMHO that would be a better solution than basically throwing away $100 or more on a used stock bag.

Or better yet, for about $600 upgrade to the Sully System and use your old airbags for spares.
