Now THAT sounds like a deal. I was looking, and for a set of bags in the front, it's like $100 ALONE, then I'd have to fab up the mounting plates, STILL buy the shocks AND the lines. I think $475 is a damn good price, considering what you get.

Contact www.InnovativeAirSuspension.com and tell Larry we sent you!

I'm having tire wear issues w/ my custom bag' setup. (I think because of the lower cups) ART cups have very specific angles and offsets built into them. Bolt-on and you are set w/ no tire wear issues (Once you dial everything in).

Did you have it aligned at "ride height"? That will make a huge difference...

Just use bag cups for 88 and up bodystyle truck. They work perfectly. You can get those for about $90.

I have a set for sale if anyone is interested. Also have2 firestone compressors all new. Cups are powdered black.

phantom dually · 10-14-2003, 09:16 PM

Check out these bags I found on ebay. Guy claims they will lift 3 inches more and hold up. Also there is a guy under seller name NVMY58 that has alot of airide things for sale new. Turners upper arms. ART front kit. and many other parts.

Not sure about that but claims they are firestone??

grnddwn · 10-14-2003, 09:57 PM

Those look like a goodyear bag. I'm not real comfortable with banded bags though.

Technically, yes. They are largely advertised by shAIM though.

Ok guys..... pardon my ignorance, but I've been running a 2whl system on the back of my 68 beater for over 3yrs & use standard 2600# firestones. What is the purpose of bags w/so much lift? Are they just for showing off or is there any actual mechanical benefits I can't see?

No real mechanical benifits some guys just like to get more lift.

quick question:

Why does it matter who advertises them? Firestones not a good airbag in your eyes?

Sure AIM has probably THE worst customer service, and also THE worst shipping pricing program....(I think it's $10 shipping for every $10 in parts. LOL) but that doesnt mean the products are junk.
