Re: Airbag or Air shocks

That's like asking do you like apples or oranges. They have two totally different uses in my mind.

I have had a couple sets of air shocks and will never own another set. They have too small of a capacity to do nothing more than make your ride stiff unless you have a mild load.

If you are looking to increase towing capacity, I suggest the helper bags. When not in use they have no affect on the ride like air shocks. If you add a small compressor, you can adjust the helper bags as needed.

Re: Airbag or Air shocks

Depends on your buget and what your wanting to do ? a buddy of mine is running a set of Kings airbag shocks and it rides sweet http://www.kingshocks.com but big money another guy is running Bilstein air shocks and likes them http://www.racecardynamics.com/class...ag/airride.htm just rember if you blow a bag get ready to kick back unless you keep back ups.And you never know when one will go out no matter how well you know your air set up..
