I just installed these yesterday and, I havent seen these "reviewed" anywhere for the GX so here ya go

Most obvious difference between these and the OEM is the fact the top and bottom of these are plastic rather than steel. On one hand this is good because the originals were pretty thoroughly rusted. On the other hand, I assume longevity will take a hit. The bags are supposedly Goodyear, so hopefully that part is of decent quality.

They went in easily and everything fit fine. If they explode in a couple months Ill be sure to report back.

Two tips for getting the air lines out of the old bags:

1. You dont need the special tool. The 1/4" tool from this HF quick-disconnect set works great...http://www.harborfreight.com/4-piece...set-96834.html

2. If you cant get the lines out of the old springs due to rust and the tight space, DO NOT cut them! It only takes an extra couple minutes to disconnect the lines from the compressor/regulator and unclip them from the frame. Then, with some manipulating of the deflated bag, feed them right out of the hole in the frame mount for the input of the bag. The passenger side one is long and seems like a no way in hell will that feed thru there, but the lines are surprisingly flexible. I did this with 13 year old lines in 40* weather. Just be careful and they wont break!

Thanks! I have a feeling I will be doing this soon.
