I member when hydro. was the thing to use then along came airbags. You've seen the hydro. kits go away. Was talking with a few friends and would like to see the cost between the 2.

Actually depending on what you want to do...If you just want to layout, and no play time then bags would be more cost effective. Although, costs could be pretty close...When you start running multiple expensive hiflow 3/4" valves per bag , 600 psi rated bags, tons of air, refilling nitro bottles , etc. etc. Again I am talking HI-SPEED air-bags...hopping off the ground...This is what some people want.
The hydro thing is still in full force...it all depends on what your into. I like it all I attend GoodGuys and LowRider shows, and pretty much see/like it all.

I like both although mine are bagged. I have installed and seen both work well and will say this much.... it's ALL in the install.
For the record about four years ago I helped a high school kid who was interning with me for school credit build a 72 long bed that lay'd frame on air with 29" lift in the rear for that "locked-up" look. I gotta agree with shane it was sort of silly with no practical use but at the time it was trendy to do. I saw a pic of an s-10 with the butt so high in the air you could walk under the tailgate with out ducking. I would ask "why?" but they'd probably just use the best answer there is: " because I can"

That it totally cool...although 29" from a dead lay is ok...but not crazy. You are correct in saying it is/was the trendy thing to do. I guess I was just raised around the "my s#it gets up higher than yours!!" crowd. Well, I know it is kind of silly, but like I said...I just wanted to get the opinions of you guys here.
I enjoy this site very much, this is the only forum that I have found to be no "haters". Everyone has compliments to say or info to give. Thats cool...
Now the 'lowrider' forum thats a different story !!

When I redo the suspension next spring break, I plan to lay frame and ride at my current aired out height (pic to left).
Both can be good and probably comparably in price, but personally I use air, as it's what I know about.

Thats gonna be sweet. I like that rolling low look as well. I just want more travel from the lowered position on up.
Another point also, people always mention the weight of the extra batterys.
Again, if you just want to go up and down,(like most of the bag croud) then a basic hydro set-up could be run off of the vehicles battery...just as the airide comp can...much more lift. Air-ride needs extra tanks, most people run multiple comps....just for that little bit more 'playtime'. One good thing about the 'juice', is you have instant lift...no wait time. To some people, theres nothing like the sound of an old school pump spool'n up......
Again, they both have theiir ups and downs, and personal preference.
I am not try to knock either system, just trying to see where people stand, and what their opinions were.
The suspension of my truck will built for advertisement purposes...for my shop...so it will probably be bagged, or mabey a combo of both...we will see...
Thanks fellas for your inputs ...have a good day !!!
