When you decide you have had it with the airbags you can ditch them and put in springs on the rear axel. There are lots of options for switching to springs and I am already planning on it.
the fronts are coilovers and I just had the Bilstein put in place of oen shock. 1 notch from bottom (front Bilstein is "adjustable" upon installation.......


Just curious Cagx, I see the electrical connectors that were on the OEM rear shocks hanging, did this cause you any issues or lights?
There's fuses you can pull when you get rid of the rear air suspension and/or e-adj shocks so you don't get any dash lights.
