The BDR750 fits between the bottom of the frame and the axle, has a 15,000 lb capacity, so shouldn't flatten out as much as the RES001. It's for a Durastar, (or a Ford, pick one ) which the 4200 is, but aftermarket suppliers seem to get confused on the naming and numbers.

I did attach a picture of the compressed Timbren RES001, just for kicks.

If the this go around with the Timbrens doesn't work out, I've been thinking about making my own brackets for air bags. They would mount similar to the Timbren BDR750, that is use the existing OEM rubber spring mounting holes with an L-shaped bracket for the top and clamp to the axle at the bottom. I've found a couple individual air bags that may work. Not a direction I wanted to go but seeing little options.
Wow, that sucker is compressed!! Im curious how you like the 750's. It would be awesome if the 750's mount would end up working for air bags later!!
