sway bars w/ airbags?
I know this has been asked many times before but I want my truck to drop as low as possible with my new airride. Wouldn't a sway bar keep it from dropping all the way.

Re: sway bars w/ airbags?
I never had any issues with the front bar limiting travel. A rear bar I couldn't tell you. This was on a truck with drop spindles and bags. Maybe Z'ing or aftermarket control arms might change something, I don't know.

shouldn't limit your up and down travel , but will limit you side to side alot.

I would imagine it would not affect the travel as long as you're not hitting sides. If you have a simple front/back system, it should be fine. If you have FBSS, and are hitting sides, it may tweak something, or at minimum it won't get full lift on a single side.
