There are now, a couple of single bag conversions, similar to the OEM design and I think 3 Quad bag versions.
I beleive the one that JimB and JimK are involved with is the most robust, ( read that as heavily built ) and other then not limiting coach drop when the air is down, is a really excellent unit.
I don't care for the first unit with the metal that flexes. I see that as a weak point and though we have not heard of one breaking, with my luck, it would break in the middle of no where with no cell phone service.
Now that a couple of single bag designs have come up, they are also a very good choice to consider.
The choice may not be an easy one anymore.
The Quad bags ride at a lower air pressure, enhancing the smoothness of the ride. I have not noticed any sway or rocking and handling is very good ( the JIMs 4 bagger ).
The singles are a higher air pressure but a single bag. The travel of the suspension is less than OEM but since we won't be driving over 4x4's any time soon as GM had advertised in the early years, that should not be a concern.
There was a stream in this forum not too long ago that was all over this topic, maybe a search can find it again.
You really need to look at all 4 or 5 of them, look at the pluses and minuses and decide what you really need and go from there...
