If you are going back to bags you will have to condition the material ever so often or it will fail again. The springs really are better and more reliable. But if your after oem just condition the bags

I really like having the air suspension in the back of my 2012. I will probably now not trade up to a 2020 as I tow a lot and it's great to just see that thing level off and works great. I don't think Ford should have a tow package and still have to do something like add Sumo(sp?) springs. I'm really bummed about that prospect as I had given a lot of thought to trading up based on the other good things I hear. For me, the missing air bags are not worth the move. I'm ready to take the heat of the comments to follow....
I can't blame you one bit. I really wanted to stick with the 5.4 that is why I did not buy a newer truck. I also wanted the air ride, for the towing, unfortunately this one was converted, but the price was too good to pass up.
You could do the work then have a local dealer program/reset it. Then the spend is only tech time vs labor to install. I'm sure they would just program it a similar way if they had to reset/replace onboard suspension modules.
Any time I talk to a dealer about anything custom, they won't touch it and don't even want to talk to me about it unless it was installed on my truck by the factory. I noticed the same trend in multiple different threads where people talk about trying to add optional factory equipment to their vehicle. Maybe it's a policy with Ford or some sort of liability concern. Whatever it is, it seems most dealers just don't want to go there. If you find one that will, you might be lucky!
