Rear air springs

[Chuck Dea]

Ok. So now the rear air springs leak down, especially with a load after sitting a short time. Has anyone used different application as in f150 since the air springs are no longer available For the Blackwood? Is there a concrete resolution to keeping the air springs by replacing with f150 air springs?

So I purchased rear air springs for a 2002 f150 and was able to get them to fit with a little modification. Haven't pulled the boat yet but all systems are working. I saved the original air springs in hopes they could be rebuilt someday. Can't really explain the procedure on installing but not difficult to see what modifications are needed to make them fit. I'm replying to my own post. Chuck

I used these from EBay. Shaved the top edge so they could fit up into the recess.
