Default 2001 UL newbie.got questions.

Hello all,again.i dont have the car yet maybe sometime next week.but im already making plans for it.i own a GS300 with air suspension by Universal Air.and i've been told when jacking up the car or lifting it up in the air that you must release all the air in the bags or else the bags will over extend and it will cause it to rip.so my question is
1)with a UL would i have to worry about the bags getting damaged when im jacking it up to change the wheels?

im also planning on replacing the stock air suspension with a Universal Air Suspension kit so heres another question:
2)is there any performance shocks/struts for the LS430?
so far the only struts i've found were KYB GR2's.

thats all i got for now.thanks in advanced!

no worry, just don't start the car while it's jacked up, or you will mess up the sensors.
