Bolt in air bag
 
Does anyone make one for a 72? Also I'm going to be towing a 5000lb load alot. Will the air bags hold up? What kind should I get? Thanks.

Yep. For a '72 they're basically bolt-in. You do have to drill a few holes.

Check this thread for pictures.

The bags will hold as long as you get some that are rated for that kind of weight. Remember, the original application of these things is for big-rigs...

The piston style bags ECE sells bolt into the stock spring bolt holes. You just need to open the upper hole up just a touch.

With all due respect....ECE's system is wayyy overpriced. I understand they are not in the air-ride business, but their airbag setup is really not something I'd recommend.

I understand, I was just letting him know they do bolt in with very little hassle. They will sell the bags individually from the kit. They're still $200 apiece which is pricey (like everything else they sell), but the do ride VERY nice.
