So my wife reserved an RV spot for 3 nights at Silver Strand State Park July 29 - 31 for my birthday, and I just now realized that I don't have air bags! I DO still have the aluminum cones and a while back I was going to do one of the conversions, but that got put on the back burner. Some kind soul in the San Diego area loaned me air bags but I no longer have that contact info. Can anybody help out? Please call/text me at 858 three four nine 6472 or email me at larryengelbrecht at gamil dot com Thank you very much in advance!

Larry,
I lost the drivers side airbag at speed and had no problems pulling over. I pulled into a gas station across the highway (lucky) and rummaged around until I found the PO's piece of 1 ½ inch pipe and five eights threaded rod of the correct length. This no-bag cheater served me well for about 250 miles till I got to a relatives house where I installed one of Jim K’s quad bag system. The 250 miles on not great roads caused no damage whatsoever. The quad bag system has worked out very well for us.

Came home 150 miles from the beach with driver side a 4x4 block - could hardly tell from stock. I think in the mountains it would be an improvement!
