When installed as it came from air ride I had about 31/2 inches of clearance under my front cross member when all the air was out. Air Ride says you can go lower by cutting a piece off the bottom of the cylinder thing, i believe its 1" down for each 1/2" cut off .My cross member now has 2 1/2" of clearance. With all the air out it can not go any lower , so bump stops are not needed. If your truck goes on the ground with the air out you must have done something to the bags to make this happen. I cant emagine any system would put you on the ground with the air out ,Man if you lost your air while driving you would be in deep do do and so would the company for allowing that to happen

Not to be a dick, but you obviously havent been around air at all besides what is on your truck.
You have the coolride kit and it lays frame for the other trucks its out for, now since these trucks have the crossmember issue, it doesnt, unless you cut the cups or run smaller tires. Air systems are design to lay flat. Read around the ART site, roadgrater kit for the s10 lays the rear on 20's, their coolride kit lays the front flat on 20's (depending tire size, but a nice tire so you're not on bands, require a little of cutting of the upper cup). Same goes for just about every other setup. Now for the hot rods or older cars, it doesnt lay b/c you have to back stuff up, most ppl dont wanna loose inner fenders, etc. So they let their wheels rest on them. Now there are some setups that wont layout without a lot of work and some that will. Air airbar for the s10 (the one that has no notches) is just made to go low, but can layout with mods. Same goes for the shockwaves, they dont lay out but they also dont have much stroke to them.
