Default Question on BAGS

I'm saving up for some airlift (bags) for 3is RWD because houston flood like crazy I would love to have height adjustment at your finger tip. But would be safe to get it on a daily driven car. Mostly freeway! Any owner with bags having any issue or complication so far? What some good recomendation? price range would be 3-4k .

Quality parts and a good installer is key. Do your home work and be prepared to pay a little more for quality work. Also be prepared to do preventive maintenence. Checking lines, ensure bags are not rubbing, checking for cracks like you would any other rubber component.

If I were to bag a vehicle I would hardline everything in the trunk for a cleaner look. I hate the look of rubber hoses.

hoses are usually Hard Plastic or metal hardlines. Never see Rubber hoses for Air Suspension.

lol, I asked myself, why does this kit sound so familiar..

No wonder why.. Did you end up purchasing the tank and mounting brackets?

I saw the 3H system had been delivered.

LoL, hey there Josh!
Yeah the Airlift 3H kit arrived safe and sound 2 days ago. I went and got the tank/eXo mount locally as pricing was comparable.
Thanks again for keeping me posted and answering all of my questions promptly. You're activity around the forum was what drove me over to you guys, so keep up the great work.

Planning on putting everything together this Sunday, so wish me luck!
