Trailer it the same way a coil spring vehicle is hauled on a trailer ... tie it down by the axles / tires with the bags aired up.

Re: towing with bags?
When you say "fully aired up" what do you mean? As shane states you should air to ride height or a little higher if clearence is an issue. Do NOT max it out as it will stress your system just as it would if you were driving withh full pressure applied.

A flat bed is always better for anything you need towed.

Have the bagged vehicle at driving height. Keep an eye on it to be sure it don't leak down & make the straps holding it on the flat bed loose. One of my buddies towed his brothers bagged 62 C10 dropped all the way down on his car trailer & he bent the frame on his 96 Yukon at the hitch mounting points on the frame.

Re: towing with bags?
leaving the hold down straps loose is a good way to lose 2 vehicles should you encounter a sudden stop.
