air spring where to buy

Hi folks, I think I may have a leaky air spring, when the car's off, the drivers side sits lower, when turned on, it levels itself. I am not getting
any warning lights. So, I decided to look into air springs, but I get a bunch of questions, such as, sporty package? susp level option? two axle levelling? anyways, there are like 3 or 4 different part numbers, could anyone please pinpoint exactly which is the one I need? it's a 2000, 4.4i, last 5 digits of VIN: LH02244
Thanks in advance,
Mario.

JST2828 -

I recall your mods list post. Any reason why you went with 4.8 air springs...
While I have not really looked and compared but is the setup the same.
I recall on your list that you were doing KW upfront and 4.8 air springs on the back.
I assume you would them lower it via DIS...

Just curious....

actually...4.8 rear shocks....i purchased the air springs that were for my vehicle year. since the 4.8 is lower than my 2001 i figured the shock piston had to be at least 15mm shorter. this would compensate for the lowering.

you have no sports package, you'll need either

37121095579 - left air spring
37121095580 - right air spring

and i can sell them to you for $155 shipped each, BNIB

oh by the way, you have a open recall on your car

Where did you get the shocks for the rear? Part number? What did you put in the front strut wise?
