Air Bag Rear

[Lord Bungle]

The rear end of my 1979 Twin Wheel Camper is sagging ( It happens to us all after 40 plus years).
I have read about adding air Bag assistance to the leaf springs. But can only find non air bag kits listed.
And those who advertise Transit Kits only seem to cover mk 7 and later.

Has anyone done this?
Where did you get the parts?
Any advice welcome.

what about this ebay item https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274743939001

Yeah, I had seen them, would prefer air bags as I have seen these fitted and the rear seems to sit high. Also the air version would let me tweak it when camping so the van would sit slightly more level.
They are down as plan B though.
Cheers.

if it sits too high trim the spring

Just spoken to Simon from custom campers who make the kit. He recommends an 1100 kg spring.
But is away on his holidays until the 23rd.
So might got the way of the springs.
Another Airbag company quoted me £1800 + vat for a kit

Why not get your springs retempered?
