Air Suspension - Air Bag replacement

Question

I have a 2002 Winnebago Journey32T. &nbsp; The techs working on the vehicle recommend changing &nbsp;out the current airbags (they are Firestone). &nbsp;The parts people have been able to locate replacement bags for the front axle. &nbsp;They have not been able to locate replacements for the rear, drive axle. &nbsp;Firestone has said they do not have a replacement for the rear bags that are on this vehicle. &nbsp;Does anyone have a recommendation for a brand and a supplier in the Spokane area of Washington or in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana that could be used as the replacement.&nbsp;I appreciate any suggestions..

Thanks to "way2roll"s input I have moved this post to the Motorhome Group&gt; Forum. &nbsp;Did not understand the taxonomy before.

Hi,&nbsp;I ran into the same problem on the rear air bags.&nbsp; I went with sumo springs instead.

Sumo springs are a great alterative for motorhomes.

A pickup might have a rear axle that varies from say 3500lb (running empty) to upwards of 6-8k lb (pulling a 5er). The adjustability of an airbag system can be nice. With a motorhome, there is negligible variation in axle weight, so the fixed ability of sumo springs should work just as well. (that said, we did throw a set of sumos on our F250 and don't really notice them ridding empty but they take the squat out when pulling the 5er).
