bilstein air lift shocks?

I was on my snow plow forum and someone put this thread up today. So i go on the website and don't see anything so i am confused lol. I was hoping it was some type of shock i can add air too to keep my front from sagging instead of getting timbrems but here's the link let me know if you guys have any info on these.

This is what they look like, even though they only show applications for Chevy's on their website...

But I saw them in the January issue of 4Wheel and Off-Road...

They look sweet!

What's the advantage over air bags?
Air shocks were big in the 70's, seems like a step backwards.

Cool thanks for finding them, the size of them doesn't look like it would fit in the front spring but maybe they make a smaller size. I will def be looking into using these in the rear.

It does seem like old technology but it seems to incorporate the shock and air bag into one unit so you don't have to buy a an airbag system like firestone's or helwigs and mount them on your axle and frame.

I think they are cool but i will wait to see reviews hopefully they turn out good.
