Are air bags legal?
 

I was wondering if bagging our trucks is legal, I ask this because i need to get a safety inspection done on my truck when I ready to register it due to its age..
I need know if I should put on coils until the inspection is done or can i just go straight to airbags..
It may be different in certain places, but here in Alberta I'm not really sure if it is or not... I know you can have bags on trucks with existing front and rear suspension to help with heavier loads etc...

thanks!

Yeah you're right, each state is different...so call the shop that you are taking yours to and ask them. They are legal in TX if that helps..lol

Check your local DOT, but I have never heard of air suspension being illegal. There are many cars, trucks, motorhomes and commercial trucks that run air suspension.

In certain states, having any parts below a certain height can be illegal while in motion.

best best is check ur own state. I wouldn't think so since 18 wheelers run them all the time. the only problem I see is leaving it too low when u go to do your inspection

Yeah certain height is key in most states to low can get you a ticket it all depends the cop tho.But never act up and give them a reason to pull you over.But yes find out what your state laws are ask a cop or dmv.

Totally legal here in Fort Wayne, IN. I've never had a problem with my 72 and I see S10's rollin low all the time.

I've played with my switches while around cops. It may be illegal if at a higher, unsafe rate of speed. Cops saw me air up and down but I was around 30mph on a side street, not doing 70 on the interstate.
