On an aero, there is a hole in the top of the spring pocket where the air solenoid sits. Its not there on a box. The shape of the upper part of the perch is different in some other ways too, but thats the biggest problem. The air spring just won't go in with that upper spring area shaped the way it is. At a minimum it needs a hole cut for the solenoid, and the center hole on the spring pilot tit needs to be bigger. Ideally it would have that whole area cut out and transplanted with the pieces out of a roundbody car.
The load level things wouldn't be too hard. I'd just need to figure out what are appropriate valves to use. Most of them are intended for unidirectional flow, so its possible it either won't fill or won't vent, depending which way I face them. Most of it is about operating the air pilot that actually causes the valve to move. If i had some air in the springs, it should likely always open and then it would work normal. Its that initial fill that would be the challenge.
