Jimny is so small and light car so I don't have much choice. I found only two suitable sleeves. Firestone WO2-358-7012 and W26-358-9004. Other airbags are too large for our car.
I bought them on airbaggit.com.

Looks like a great job. Just not sure I see why.
Looks like you have lesser articulation than with normal shocks, these airbags don't look very tall. Probably why you have these Blocks on top and below them ?
If I should change suspension on the Jimny, I'd go for Fox Air Shocks.

I can not brag about huge articulation and I don't worry about that. Total travel length of these air springs is about 15 cm. It's enough for me. I need comfortable suspension to drive on bumpy road. Also when I put a lot of things in my car it does not sag to bump stops because I inflate air bags more and go on same height as on empty car.
Air bags are empty. The car lays on bump stops
And this is ride height
