I chose these airbags by their size (min/max height, diameter etc). As I remember Firestone does not have much choice in range of Firestone sleeve type airbags.
Can you give me parameters of 7000?

7012:

9004:

The 9004 has more travel (14 inches vs 10.5 inches) and is a lot bigger, so I guess the ride is firmer? Do the bags ever reach full extension?

7012s are too short for my Jimny. I fitted such airbags for Jimny with about 2-3" susp lift.
9004 looks completely different than mine.
Try to find in original Firestone catalogue airbag with partno W26-358-9004.
And yes it's firm on big bumps. To make it smoother I added extra tanks for each airspring. Then I found solution how to make piston with same shape as 7012.

Just to avoid long walks for help when I roll without friends behind or to help friends behind if they don't have a winch B)

That is so cool when you look at how flat it rides to the grass going by in the back ground that is a top notch set up in my book excellent work

Anyone know where you mite be able to source these units this side of the pond ?
