air ride suspension

Hello all. I have a 1997 F250 (heavy half) and had one of my air ride suspension bags on the rear end blow out over the weekend. Calling Ford Parts this morning, sounds like this was the first and last attempt to make this a factory installment on the 3/4 tons. Anyways for one bag, cost is around 400 dollars to replace. Curious if anyone had run into any after maket bags that will replace the factory ones. Probably should go ahead and replace both of them. thanks

Is it a full air ride or factory leveling bags for the rear? My guess is the latter.

If so I would imagine you could purchase an aftermarket kit like the Firestone Ride Rites and install in place of the factory bags on both sides on the rear, hook up to the factory air system and you would be good to go.
