i see air cylinders in industrial applications from time to time, and they are working alot more than a drive in a truck......
yea im gonna have to agree.
I used to build thermoformer machines, and we used bimba air cylinders on them for all the moving parts. They were ment to run 24hrs a day 7 days a week without break, and they were only serviced once every year at the most. Air cylinders are very capable of lasting as a suspension component.
The quality of the cylinder and quality of the install will determine its wear and life span.

Sorry guys, I should have clearified a bit better, The cheap air cylinders that get used in the aftermarket industry just don't hold up over time. You could prob get a high quality one to work but the only reason I would see to even do that would be just to be different, I honestly cant think of any other advantages

They should be good.
