Default Coilover to Air suspension

Currently sitting in coils but I wanna get bagged. I talked to a rep from Airtekk and they have a product that basically replaces the spring with a airbag. (Called bellows) anyone heard about this before?

I'm also looking into Air ride, and have come across bag over coils. They are most definitely a thing, I've heard people using UAS (Universal Air Suspension) which seems to be the more popular choice. I personally am looking at either getting AirRunners or Airrex Air struts.

So if I were to get bag over coils, all I would need is a management?

From what i know, Yes.
a management kit (tank, lines, compressor, computer/controller/leveler)
Try contacting UAS.

You would have to get the proper bags + tank, compressor and management.

We have been selling a ton of the D2 Racing 36 way adjustable air bags. Great product to say the least.

Damn that's a lot. I'm on a slight budget so saving the $1000 roughly doing the bag on coils helps out.
