I don't think they're actually broken where can I get the airbags from? They sound expensive....

Here's the first source that popped up on the internet.

About $400 list and $275 internet price for just the basic air bag kit of Firestone RideRite air bags. Ride Rite is the most popular of the various brands of air bags. That's the basic option. You can spend a lot more money on fancy install kits that include automatic air inflation and deflation with an on-board air compressor and the associated plumbing lines .


Probably in the neighborhood of $600 for the basic kit installed by the local suspension shop. But if you are a decent shade-tree mechanic you can probably DIY for less than $300.
