Air Ride Opinions Wanted

[slosteve]

I've never had an air bag suspension but have been wanting one for quite some time. I have finally picked out all the stuff that I want to use on this long overdue project.
All of a sudden I start getting negative input about these systems. Mainly from guys who drive their rigs alot. "Never again" and that type of stuff. So I ask 'WHY'.
LEAKS, Compressor failures when the truck is 'down', bags scuffing on more difficult roads, bag failure and no dealer within 500 miles, etc.
So I'm looking for feedback from more folks that have air systems and drive them; not just to cruise nights or shows, but on the road, highway, dirt roads, RR crossings and all the stuff that goes with 'using your ride'.

I think that I should have titled this Air Ride Facts Wanted
