I actually went through several sets of the Airbagit bags. After sending them pics of the application I was using, they finally relented that the bags were designed for a straight push, instead of the minor twist push that the GMC Harrison setup gave. So, they admitted that the bags would not work in our situation. Would not take the bags back nor give me my money back on them, even though they said on first inquiry, seeing pics of the application, and said the bags would work.
Personally I would not hesitate to use the Firestone 7659. They have steel end plates and are slightly bigger than the original, making pressures slightly lower for the same carrying height. JMHO
