The aftermarket Air bags are set up for either insertion into a coil spring  
(won't usually work with a shock inside) or a pad mount - where the bag is  
captured top and bottom. The second type needs room to expand sideways - as  
least a little, so placement on the spring (for leafs) or a control arm - like  
would be used on an FC, is critical. Have you checked out an air-shock  
installation. There might be one (hi-jackers?) that would work either as a  
replacement or an add-on in the FC rear suspension. There were aftermarket, and  maybe 
factory add-on leafs which would increase carrying capacity. Perhaps those  
would work, if you could find some. I gotta add that when I saw the Subject  
title "airbags for an FC" - I couldn't help thinking "Airbags? Now the FC would  
be the perfect vehicle for driver's side and passenger side air bags.  -  Seth
