Dont know anything about them, but IMO if you are going for travel, you arent worried as much about ride quality

But let us know how you like em

Re: triple air bags .....good for street trucks ???

A triple convoluted bag should perform the same as a double convoluted bag of the same diameter with equal air pressure because force= psi x area. But you don't want to run the air bag too close to it's colapsed or extended dimensions (triple convoluted will have a taller collapsed dimension). It needs room for jounce and reboud travel otherwise the bag will bottom out. I've repaired several pusher axles in heavy truck applications because the ride height of the bag was too low.
