Default Air springs

Do you folks know how much each one costs ?
When would you recommend replacing them if you had this option ?
What about shocks would you recommend replacing them as well ?

Default when they leak..you replace them..

the generaly are 450.00+/- for the spring. + Labor. It is a DIY if you are so inclined.. perhaps 2-3 hours each front. The shock doesn't get replaced unless its leaking oil. Its the same process as the air spring.

Default Same Here, kit goes in this weekend...

Did you do our own install BlueDog? If so how did it go? I am wondering if I need to locate a ball joint splitter for the task. I've checked the write ups, but I read that it can maybe be done w/o touching the pinch bolt.

Default I did mine this last weekend and left the pinch bolt in...

Followed the write up that I found here from another member that left the pinch bolt alone. It worked just fine, and i didn't have to disassemble much. Car is on the level again
