You're absolutely right
T5.4
You are absolutely correct. In fact, through AdvanceAuto, I purchased the Monroe conversion kit ($200 after internet discount) and about 3 hours work, and I replaced my back air bags with springs.
The airbags remove easy enough, and with a spring compressor, I was able to compress the coils so I could install them without removing the shocks (the dang bolts on the shocks are rusted solid, so removing the shocks would have been a big pain in the neck).
Anyway, long story short: Remove the stinking air bags and replace them with coils. Rides nice now, even when towing my 21' wellcraft.
