these would probably take too much air to lift the car, then have a crappy ride

something like this
airlift makes a universal strut like that, with that type of sleeve bag over it. personally I would always try and run a double bellow bag, like run a universal machperson strut from airlift up front with a double bellow bag on it.

but their struts have had problems too, noisy knocking etc..

its never a perfect world!

Ran the sleeve bags before and didn't like how soft it was. It has a load rating of 900lbs/bag, so it's right about where the GS weights at. With a system and/or passengers, it could make the car a little unstable.

did you try adjusting it? what was your pressure when at your ride height?

Yup, the damper adjustment was at it's stiffest. I would also need about 120psi front and 90psi rear just to have decent ride (anything lower would end up bottoming out).
