Posted this on Turbo section also, who has an air ride suspension, how much does it cost, who makes it, and what parts are involved in the mod. I gave up on lowering springs, now I want to push a button when I want it low, push again to bring it back up. Sounds expensive. Gary

Gary, the cost of bagging your car might make you choke. Plus you'll have to give up a fair amount of trunk space to the air bottle.
Why'd you give up on the lowering springs? Add a nice site of gas shocks/struts to almost anyone's springs (Eibach, GoldLine, BTG) and you'll really like the ride. Promise. |

I believe they ride pretty rough also.

Turbomangt, I hated my lowering springs too and so I got rid of mine an put an air suspension system in (Jan 03)and never looked back. I have bagged air struts by Air Ride Technologies (http://www.ridetech.com/productinfo/airstrut.asp)and the rear and system is from Easy Street (http://www.airliftcompany.com/easyst...indexframe.htm). I put a triple pod gauge with Dakota Digital (before they made a guage that does everything). I also have a rmote which allows me to lift or drop the car from a distance. I have a 5 gallon Air Tank ( the come smaller if you want) an I also put a 2000psi compressed air bottle for shows so that I do not have to wait for my sir tank to be refilled by the compressor. The ride is not rough. There is no difference between the ride of lowering springs and air bags. I put everything on myself in in one day. be sure you do a complete lay out before installing to ensure you have everything. I have 18's in the front and 20's in the rear and rears tuck under (+42 offset, thanks KevinL1058). Mine was expensive because they just came out and added estras to mine. Here is a link that will give you what you are looking for for about $1500 and it does FBSS (without remote). http://www.truckn-store.com/product....t.asp&ID=57659 I will try and post picks on Car Domain this weekend. I will let you know.

those front air struts from AIM are crap. i had tried to fabricate a top mounting for that kit and nothing but headaches landed up sending them back and buying the ridetechs. one piece of advice don't go cheap on the air ride unless you have alot of people that know what they are doing. my cruiser has been sitting on lifts now for over a month. waiting on the front air struts to get here. good luck

Hey RallyDRock, I have had no problems with my air bags. And it can handle storage very well also. I just got back from Iraq three weeks ago . My car sat in a UHaul storage from 28 March 2003 to 17 April 2004. I put a quart of oil in and hooked up the negative terminal back to the battery. The air pump started filling the tank and within 4 minutes it was full. And with one crank my car started. I lifted the car with the bags and there were zero problems. No mind you the car was in storage in Killeen Texas where the temps get over 110 degrees and the winter as cold as 20 degrees. This should say something about Air Bags durability.
