Default Air Suspenison

My driver side air suspension is leaking when warm and I am going to replace it, just not sure if I should put new air bags in or change over to traditional shocks and coils. What are you guys running if not the air bags? I have a 3500LB travel trailer that we tow if it makes any difference in your opinions.

If you tow on regular occassions, then imo don't convert to coils, DEF keep the SLS as its far more usable for towing. So I would replace the Air Bags and enjoy / use the benefits it offers over coils, come to think of it I would never convert to coils even if I did / dont tow anything at all, as the SLS is just far better.

You never us used bags, call and order 2 new bags from Arnott Industrys in Florida, best and cheapest bags out there, far better then the factory one.

Are the air bags hard to replace, is this a DIY project or should I take it to my mechanic and give him the parts? In a nut shell can this be done in a single day with moderate tools and ability?

I can walk someone thru it, take 30 minute give or take using a jack and jack stand.

See this thread for a differing opinion on the Arnott Springs...
