Using AirWaves instead of Airbags
 

Has anyone ever used "AirWaves" before? It's like a shock with and airbag in it. Here's an example:

I saw these in Truckin' magazine thie past month and was wondering if they were any good. Obviously, they're no comparison to having straight up airbags (hell, bags are cheaper by a long shot), but I wonder if anyone here could provide their experience with using this product?

They are made by AIM and there are too many horror stories about thier products and services to risk using thier parts.

Look into the Shockwave from ART, it's a much better design and they have better service than AIM.

First AIM/Chassis Tech is crap.

Second. The big deal with the difference between a bag/shock combo and just the bag with external shock is the amount of lift. A bag/shock combo such as the shockwave will not give much lift, something like 4 inches, where a Firestone "2600" will give about 6.5 or so. I'm a dealer for Air Ride so I'm not knocking there stuff, but the shockwaves suck if you need lift to untuck a big tire, however they look the best.

We had shockwaves on the front of an S-10 with 20's and the guy had to get rid of the 20's because the shockwave couldn't untuck the wheel enough to drive.
