Default Suspension Air Bag Conversion?

Looking at putting suspension airbags in my 1970 Range Rover (there are conversion kits available here in Oz, Dunlop, Firestone), but I would like to get some opinions first. I do a lot of heavy towing.

Anyone had any experience in this?

I wish to add self leveling units and am looking at truck types - comment?

What about the roll-over aspect - the outside pumping itself up and the inside releasing air (and the next corner big trouble!). Solutions?

Curt... thanks for the heads up.. however I have shipped small items all over the world, and Australia is THE most expensive place to ship.. it would cost $200+ to ship those wheels.. probably more..

I would pay the money for rims in good condition. I have an off road trailer that I wish to convert over to RR rims - thus having some commonality.

PS I do have contacts in the undustry as well, though not sure if that would help
