Air bag install
I’m getting ready to install a fresh set of air bags on my bus front and rear with new rear shocks as I have installed the koni front shocks already within the last 8 months. The rear looks straight forward but the front looks pretty tight any suggestions will be greatly appreciated thank you all once again for any assistance

Once you have the old bags out, push down on the new bags before installing. gently screw a plug in the top to keep the bag compressed. Now the bag is smaller and easier to get in place. Once in place remove the plug and the bag will grow into its position.

As a side note: Keep your fingers off the top of the bag when you remove the plug and the bag rises. Yes I did find that out the hard way.

Most of the time I did not need to do anything to compress the air bag because I had the chassis up as high as it would go and the axles were as low as they could go. But when I did need to have the air bag compressed I used small tie down straps to hold it compressed and when the air bag was in place I just loosened the strap and pulled it out.
