Having air ride suspension is a little scary, why? because if for some reason a bag rips or an air line gets cut, the car will be so low that you won't be able to drive it like that. This is something all people that put air bags, either on trucks or cars have to know and think about.
That's why its important to use good reliable parts and get the air lines routed securely.
Anyhow, I have had the UAS aero sport bags on mine for like a year and no problems at all. Bags are tight.

I really don't know much everything costed since I bought all in pieces and such. The ride is very smooth. Cool thing about these bags is that you don't need a lot of pressure to lift up the car, as opposed to other bags like sleeves.

Yes, that would be great. A DIY write up would be perfect, seeing that installation for Airbags cost a grip these days.

hey toeb, love the idea for a write up. make sure you also include all the custom parts needed for the install.
id give you a hand if you werent so far away. goodluck with everything

As far as the rear goes, I'm using the oem top mounts. U just need to cut out some notches for the air fitting and 2 smaller ones for the bolts. Not much fab involved.
Nice thing about these bags also is that they don't may any noise at all while you're driving. Back in the day I used to have some air struts from airlift and aim and they used to make all kinds of annoying noises.

Just a little bit curious.
But i was wandering if you have air suspension, Do you only have 2 options, like
Stock height or slammed... Or do you have more options such as stock height, A height that you want for DD & last but not least slammed. Thats just the only part im unclear on.

So what is the total height adjustment with these? Do you think that it has 4 to 5 inches of a range in movement up and down?
Has anybody heard of this place? http://www.vtkustoms.com/default.asp
Do these kits look solid?
