Hi
There is much on the virtues of air bags in rear suspension etc...can anyone offer real life experience using air bags and how this impacts or not on wheel articulation at the rear end. This may be with or without towing something and with air in the bags of course, under medium to heavy load.
In my case I do not tow, but I may get air bags on my rig which has rear heavy duty (up to 300kgs) RidePro springs and OME nitro gas shocks. Fully loaded I have 750mm at the rear end measured between the bottom of the wheel arch to the bottom of the wheel rim - so its not level but sagging a bit and that's without passengers, and the springs are a week old. The shocks are 20,000kms old. My front end sits on OME HD struts/springs with no weight at 785mm/790mm.
I am hoping to get it close to level (around 790-800mm) when fully loaded and keep good articulation for those difficult tracks. So do air bags under these conditions help or hinder this?
Cheers
