hey well you probably have a bad seal somewhere. I would fully inflate the air bags. Then get a spray bottle with soapy water and spray all around sealling area and bag itself where you see bubbles forming is where your leaking. Hope it helps works well used this trick many times on crown vics and expeditions to find air bag leaks when I was working at the Ford dealer have a good one.

Buy a new one. Ford didn't put air bag suspension in 97 F150's as a factory item so you need to go to an aftermarket shop and see if they are still available.

most airbags have the same bolt pattern. pull the other one off and let someone who knows them tell you what kind and size it is. Or post a pic here and I or someone else will tell you what brand and size it is.
