Default Air bag problems

I am on my second f150. This one has air bags in the rear. At first I thought they were going to be a good thing. I don't pull much that is over 3500lbs.

The problems is, I am now on my 3rd set of bags!!!

I don't know why, but I seem to keep blowing them, especially the drivers side. They always seem to loose air and i a, constantly filling them. I have replaced literally everything in the system and have not found any leaks, but for some reason when I am not under a load they like to blow out after about a year.

I bought the truck used and it already had the bags on them, the dealer i purchased the truck from couldn't tell me. If they were factory or aftermarket (not a ford lot). I assume aftermarket.

I am getting a little tired of replacing them. Any ideas?

Pauly

Air bag suspension items are NOT factory installed for your truck.

If you have issues with them, you can either find out who made them and query them or figure it out on your own.

You could just remove them.
