Bag Height at Ride Height, Is This Too Short?
Just mocked up the frame and crossmember at the ride height I want, and bolted up the bags to see how tall they would be at ride height. I notched the frame rails 1.5" to raise the crossmember, similar effect as pancaking the crossmember. That made the crossember and LCA pivots up level with the frame rails.
The frame rails are sitting on 4x4" tubing, as is the bag. Rockers are about 5.5" off the ground. I'd like this to be my ride height, but I think the bags will be compressed too much? They're Airlift D2600's and are 4.75" tall as is. I'm building my own tubular A-arms so I can make the bottom bag mount however high it needs to be, but I didn't want it any lower than the frame rails or crossmember. Will the bags be compressed too much like this? All I could find was minimum height listed as 2.8" when aired out.
