Default SLS Airbag Replacement. Different hose fittings?

So, I ordered some new airbags from atlantic british to replace my leaking ones. The existing bags have a 10mm hose fitting on the plastic lines. The new ones have a push-to-lock fitting.

Should I cut the existing lines and use the new push-to-lock fitting? or should/can I remove and transfer the old threaded fittings?

Do the push to locks require any sort of sealant for a good seal?

Thanks.

I replaced the airbags and used the new push to lock fittings. The truck still sags, but much slower now. Where as it used deflate within a few minutes it now takes several hours. The compressor seems to work fine. Is the next step to replace the sensors? or is it possible there is a leak somewhere else?

Should have asked first, Arnott is a lot less money for a better bag and sounds like you have more then one problem. Send me your number and I'll call and walk you thru what to do.
