[Sgt Santa Cruz]

Hi there looking at putting air bags in the rear of the barge just interested in who has them hows the ride, what setup are you using??? etc etc

Details please.. Are you talking about the self leveling suspension? I ask as mine went a while back and I simply could not find replacement air shocks for it. It's now a standard rear, more's the pity

[Sgt Santa Cruz]

Hey man mah not a self level system just bags to replace shocks. I've got brand new gmh shockers for that in boxes if you want em I was gonna convert.. But wasn't wat I was after also got a motor and sensor if anyone is interested

If you are looking for the air assist type airbags I am running the Poly Air ones in my VS sedan(IRS) as I really only needed to assist when I tow a camper trailer, if this is the type you are after I can highly reccommend them. sorry can't offer any advise on full air bag suspension but from what I have read to keep it legal you need to have the system on both fron and rear and it must have self leveling. mind you I could be wrong on this though

thanks bru, all i can say is there convenient as fark as u can adjust ride height make it look awesome but still get up any driveway etc but the handling is pretty bad im going to change my shocks soon and see wat happens but anything below about 35psi is pretty bad on normal roads and 35psi with 19's equals to about superlows i usually drive mine at about 20psi which is a shit ride but looks awesome haha missus hates it but its my car lol, so they have there pros and cons if i culd find springs which were irs ones and not chopd live axle one (jecs lol) id prob put them in now over the hole airbag thing and would rather a better ride then be able to go up and down ......maybe tough call lol

[Sgt Santa Cruz]

mmm the ride was what i was worried about.. i wanted that ability but have a nice ride coz ive got 19's on it now .... bigger or adjustable sway bar maybe???

[mking]

lol nearly every pic in my thread has them all the way down, theyre just tubular suspension drop in bags nothing spesh, pretty sure yours with your springs in is about the same as mine all the way down with 20 psi in the bags they dont go up very much maybe about 10-20mill, how many coils on them live axle springs are there left in that cradle?

[taylorsvr]

you might have a really wierd set up cause my bags make the ride feel plusher then springs... would be nice to have put an auto leveler in tho... sik of fliking switches 10 times to get the rite height.
