Longer Air Bags

So they got back to me again.  He confirms that the 61724 kit uses the 5.38" x 10.5" bag, so it should be correct, but for some reason he does not know the application.  It should be correct, but check return policy first ...

ok, sounds good John. Thanks for digging into that, much appreciated!

A little update.  Over the 8 years I've had a couple of the bags fail for no reason that I know of.  I was wanting to try a heavier duty bag to see if that was the issue. Airlift does an HD version for the RAM, part 60818HD  https://www.airliftcompany.com/shop/60818hd/  I got a set, but found they were a bit longer than what I need.  They are 12" uninflated.  I'm not sure if the bags have gotten longer over time, or I always had the problem. 

I looked for another Airlift solution, but nothing was quite the right size.  It occurred to me that Firestone might do a kit for the RAMs.  They do.  It is part number 4185, https://www.firestoneairide.com/automotive/aftermarket/aftermarket-air-helper-spring-kits/coil-rite-kits/products/4185-coil-rite-air-springs/

Their springs are 11" uninflated and are designed for up to 70 psi.  So this is another option, if that size fits your needs.
