Re: Bagged - Key to Low Ride Height

Sure they are a nice addition, and I will get them one day, but for now, if I can, I will just stick with the stock A arms. That way it'll give me an excuse to work on it later!
With air bags you can ride at any height you want, correct...BUT there's a sweet spot where the bag is at a spring rate for a nice ride which I think is when the bag is between 7-9 inches tall (psi I do not know). The problem with not doing something like the dm/tubulars and trying to ride this low all the time is that your spring rate may be lower than ideal and not provide good ride quality because the bag may not be inflated to the 7-9 inch range.
