I have not had any specific experience with them, but you usually get what you pay for. The Arnotts look like the nicest, and they use a Continental bag and swivel fitting for the air line so it will fit either side. If mine ever give out, I'll probably go with the Arnotts. I have heard of A-1 Cardone, as they are a large aftermarket supplier, but I've never heard of Unity before. Sorry I can't be more help.

It seems most of the guys on here go for the conversion kit, but my wife lowers the suspension every day to load/unload as she runs a business out of the back of the GX so I will probably go back with bags if/when these die. So far no problems @140K miles.

Why not buy OEM off Amazon? I purchased 2 OEM bags for right around the same price as Arnott bags,
