Report on Armott replacement airbags

As all have said, easy job for DIT types.
One month later, a small annoyance. One side loses a bit of air every night but not the other. I leak checked the distribution block (where I bled out the pressure), and I know those connections are tight. I suspect the self sealing push in connnection at the airbag itself may not seal as well as the OE compression fitting. In particular I regret not cutting off 1” off the air lines so the part going into the Arnott bags didn’t have the slight indentations from the old BMW fitting. I’m not going to redo as it only takes the pump about 15 sec to fill it up each morning. If it gets worse when I have a 600lbs trailer tongue on there all day then I’ll get in and replace that one bag.
