Default air bags from a lincoln navigator?

Hey all, anyone have info on whether airbags from a stock 2003 navigator will work on sc struts? Just curious because I have a set of stock SC struts and a set of struts with bags from a Navigator

Seeing how no sc ever came with a strut I would say no.

very correct... many people mistakenly call our coil over shocks, struts... which is incorrect (for the most part, and depending on who is translating!)

If you have a lot of duct tape and jb weld, anything is possible.

lolz Sorry for the confusion. I meant to say, is it possible to change the springs on our stock coilovers to the bags from the Navigator? I'm already running some Stance GR+ coils just curious if this would work as another suspension setup.

Also if it's just the strut without the spring is that also called the shock?
Spring + strut = Coilover
Strut = shock?

Won't work haha. Shock diameter is 62mm as is the inner diameter of the airbag, but i don't have a spring perch that will correctly seal the bag. The perch from the other strut has a much smaller inner diameter and will not fit over the old strut. Oh well.

You sure quit easily... 54 minutes...

Your meme suggested otherwise.

At least he only thought about it for under an hour!

Why would you want to do this in the first place?
