auto suspension

I have a 98 F250 LD (Super cab 4x4). It has a Ford aftermarket automatic suspension system which pumps additional air into what looks like a "balloon" when additional load is added. The mount has broken that attaches the "balloon" to the frame.

I tow a horse trailer frequently...I'm trying to figure out if I should repair this sustem or beef up the suspension some other way....ideas??
thanks!

Are you sure that is a Ford installed option. Ive never heard of that but there are aftermarket airbags availible. I would find out the manufacturer of the set up then see if you can get a replacement part.

That's the first thing I did...went back to the dealer who identified it as Ford product. I'm looking for info about the load capacity of this system and if it makes sense to repair it or?
