Air bags YAY or NAY?

[Vortecmass]

Should i go for 2" drop:

* Belltech & Springs kit
* Eibach Springs & Beilstein shocks and struts
--or--
* Either both with air bags on he rear?

Once in a while im planning to carry around 400# of weight and i thought having air bags will be a good idea to raise and level the rear end

What do you think?

Wouldn't really lower if you plan to tow unless you have the autoride system. Doesn't sound like you have it since you're talking about shocks tho.

Are you only going to lower the rear?

I dont have either one yet, and I want to lower front and back.
I have done suspenssion setups on 4 and 6 cyl cars but never on 8 cyl or V8.

Belltech pedders and eibach all are good options. Eibach is probably cheapest.

Wait, i forgot to say yes i have done suspenssion upgrade on a v8 before. It was my f350 powerstroke diesel engine with HD beilstein, no loweirng springs or air bags and sitting on 22.5" alcoas

Im leaning towards the Belltech since it is the most popular, but what do you guys think of beilsein shocks?

Have you lowered yours? How much was the drop? and what components did you use? Thanks

my rear bag kit was ordered 2 days ago. I'm going to install the compressor and control panel tomorrow, along with all the air lines. I have all new shocks going on at the same time

I've lowered my mine and used just about a million different components.
I run a 2/3 drop which for some reason on my car no matter what I do is a 3/3. My truck sits one inch lower in front for some reason. But I like the pedders rear springs because they tow the best out of all the lowering springs and ride good. With 295/35/24 I sit at 35" in the rear.
I use bilstein 4600 shocks.
