What's the prescribed trick for towing if you can't get the airbags up?
Can you replace the airbag with a block of wood or perhaps a bottle jack?
thanks

I saw an aluminum bar that you could put in in place of the air bag as a temp fix to get you home. You could probably use a piece of 3/4 threaded rod and some nuts for the same effect. I'd be tempted to also add a section of pipe over the rod to give it some more bend resistance. I think the dimension was 13" but you can just jack it up to height and measure how much you'll need.
