Would you need to empty the airbags to change the rear shocks? Or can you do it with the air bags inflated? Maybe remove the compressor fuse?

So.. I got the last parts yesterday, today I got them mounted. Both the front and rear fits like a charm!
There is still comfort when you drive, and making turns, but if you cranck up the speed it is much more stiffer. I am very pleased with them.

No you don't need to do anything with the airsuspension, just put a jack under one of the control arms to support it when you remove the shock absorber
