Hi all,
Just a quick update. Got the air springs installed  on the left rear yesterday. Everything worked great. The coach aired right up. i crawled back under and leaked checked the bags. No bubbles showed anywhere no air noise picked up with my leak detector. Every thing good until this morning. Left side lost some air overnight. Not all the way down like when the bag blew, but still noticeable. I have an idea what it might but I would have expected to find the leak when I checked yesterday.
I had trouble with the 45 degree elbows that connect the bag to the 1" airline. If I tightened the fitting all the way on the airbag, it would not line up with the air line. I had to back it out nearly 3/4 turn to get alignment. I was surprised that I didn't find a leak yesterday.
If anyone as any tips or tricks on how get a tight fit and alignment at the same time, I'd appreciate your input.

Tony, as Hossier mentioned thread sealant will definitely help. I like to use Rectorseal True Blue, it works fantastic. As with any sealant it’s important to check to make sure that you’re not getting it inside the fitting, with 1” fittings that’s not that hard to keep clean, much harder when your dealing with 1/4” or smaller fittings.
The other thing that I will mention is something an old plumber told me on the job, do not back off the fitting, if you do then you need to start over, remove the fitting and reapply the sealant. Then creep up on the spot where it needs to be aligned so you do not have to back the fitting off.

The other thought is maybe it’s not leaking anywhere you touched, maybe it’s the six pack leaking or the leveling valve? There are two exhaust ports on the back of the six pack that you can listen for leaks or spray them to check for leaks.
