you REALLY need to search. hit the sticky at the top of the forum and read (don't post) old posts for information. lexls.com will have a lot of info for you too.

read more, yes you can get a controller and lower the factory air, but the bags WILL blow if you ride low, and quite quickly at that.

While a controller on stock airbags is an option, driving around slammed puts aot of stress on the factory bags. They do not usually last beyond 100k mi to begin with, so you maybe having to replace one sooner than later.
