Thanks for the link.
It's your truck & your decision..... Air bags in place of coils aren't strictly for the 'custom' crowd. They were intended for hauling cargo while providing a better ride quality.

'Helper' bags for coil applications go inside of the coils meaning you would remove the coils for the installation unless your going to do some sort of 'custom' set-up. If you're removing the coils anyway, just bolting in an air-spring that replaces the coil is easier. Regardless of which way you go, you still have to route air to the bag to be functional so that's a wash.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
