Front air bags

[05Single]

Has anyone tried a front bag set up like this ? for the 00-06 obviously. but has anyone have any experience with a kit like this? pros and cons ? or maybe there's better kits out there?

You trying to go low low?

No . I'm 4wd and also I live in Alaska. just was thinking of a different set up instead of drop spindles . this would be adjustable..if I need to go offroad on a mild trail. Right now on my cabin trail I bottom out at stock height. so if I go 2/4 I can raise everything including my helper bags in the rear so I can still tackle that trail and make it to my cabin in summer.

Oh. Bagged suspension is way different than shocks or struts, not nearly as comfy. It might be adjustable as far as height but it's a bit harsh. Not as bad as hydraulics but still not that good. That's why I was wondering.

Oh damn I figure it would be like riding on air lol. I've never owned anything bagged, nor rode in anything bagged. my factory rear air ride is the closest to riding in anything adjustable .
I love bagged trucks, I've just never been in one

The rear air ride has shocks combined with air bags, the best of both worlds. Air bags with no shock absorbers are way different. I'd suggest riding in a bagged rig before going that route, you might be real disappointed. They have a place though, if you want to be able to drop it onto the frame. Unfortunately when you do that, there's no room to still use shocks in any form. I have bagged Harley's but they use the same setup in the rear as our Autoride - Monroe air shocks- and in the front I installed air pistons in the forks but still kept springs ( shortened) and fork oil. If they ran on air bags alone I don't think my ass could take it.
