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.
