Default Air Runner Vs. EAI

I have been researching on what kind of suspension to use. My goal is to lay frame, like the black GS400. He is running EAI suspension. I'm basically asking if anyone knows how low the Air Runner suspension will go. Will it lay frame like the EAI setup?

EIA are are air cylinders from The Hack Shack.

Air runners are 100 times better than air cylinders because they are designed for a car's suspension as opposed to air cylinders which are used in machinery.

Of course air runners are so expensive it is just ridiculous. Also you can't even just get the struts you have to buy the whole kit.

air runners are no doubt the best if you want to SLAM! but they are soo damn pricey....I heard with the air runners...its like all the good stuff from coilovers and airbags put together.

The main purpose of having an air ride suspension is to slam the car so low that you can tuck the upper part of your wheels.

I believe the other day I called the wheel shop out there in Bellflower, CA and they quoted the kit to be around 4300.00. I think they should consider selling the struts alone and getting your own air valves, maybe Parker or SMC on your own.
