Still looking to source airbag kit for my 1973 Indian D24 M375/400. Anyone know of a kit?

I'd be interested if there is an answer for the front as well

do you already have airbags (factory setup) on the rv or are wanting to add them.

FN Duck, on the M-Series vehicles, do the airbags connect to the springs using u bolts (like helper springs) or do they connect around the axle like the air bags on dump trucks? I looked on youtube and found different  mounting options for different Dodge vehicles (no M-series videos though).

Mine are Firestone and they mount to the frame and top of the axle.
I don't have a good picture of them, but you can see them in the attached pic.
I called Firestone and they had me take some measurements, then recommended a set.
They bolted on in about an hour.

Top of the axle.  I was lucky and got my front ones before they stopped making them.  You won't find any manufactured for the front.

Hi Oz, do you happen to know the model number of the old kit? I know it's been posted on the forum before, but I can't seem to find it.

No idea.  The RV is long gone now, and I gave all the paperwork to the new owner.
