Rear Helper Air Bags for 1970 Olds 98LS springs

I cannot find a helper airbag set for my 98's rear shocks. I can find them for a 1970 Electra though. Does anyone know if the rear springs on an Electra are the same? Will the bags for one of those work on a 98?

The 1965-70 full size cars all used unique chassis and suspension and brake systems. No parts interchange. Having said that, the AirLift bags are pretty accommodating.

Just got a set of Detroit Eaton springs for my ‘66 98. Haven’t seen them yet, but mechanic said they raised the rear 3/4” or so.

Not huge rise , but a win for me. The weight of the rear ends on these cars is, uh, something.

Let us know how/if you like the airbags. Might be a nice addition to mine too.
