Thanks guys I appreciate your advice................ not!


I really didn't need the search instructions either. Found some reading on the pros and cons but not very good ones.



So yes I did search before I posted......Thanks.

pros:
fun
gets attention
adjustable ride height at a flip of a switch
can lay car on the ground

cons:
showboating in traffic can equal tickets
need to be maintanced
valves breaks, fittings break, lines get holes (nothing is perfect)
carry spare wrenchs to fix problems if need be.
almost same comfort as stock suspensions
bag breaks, line gets a hole = loss of fender, tire and possible rim

add this to cons.... carry about 5 extra foot of airline, and 2 extra female quick connect fittings to make a quick fix if in a bind.



pro:

SPARKS F'N OWN THE NIGHT!

dont get the impression though that it always breaks. i had air ride for nearly 3 years and i only replaced 1 line, 2 fittings and a valve (my fault for snapping a piece off, not actual failure) during that time. if you take care of it and empty the water trap and tank you should be fine. also cleaning the rubber seals every once and while is a good way to prevent a sticky valve.
