Well the new air bag goes where the stopper used to be, and gives you additional stiffness... so you'd have to hit something pretty darn hard to compress that sucker to the point of collapsing it. As it compresses it gets firmer (higher pressure) as the volume gets smaller (as it is confined within the spring and control arm space), so it should stop it from bottoming out unless something outrageous were to happen, in which case I would worry about other stuff bending and breaking too.

OK, maybe hit was the wrong scenario,
Lets say you are towing a heavy load and one of those airbags pop driving over traintracks or whatever multitude of things can get you bouncing under load....you then have no stopper. My previous van sprung a leak in the air tube 1/2 way through my trip...I'm just throwing it out there for discussion. Has anyone had these for a couple years?
