My bags have internal bumpstop... I dont plan on ever running em without air. I almost bought some bumpstops and realized these had internals. That works for me....

Re: Is there any reason why i cant weld this?

The guy I bought the truck from had the compressor but wanted it. So I let him keep it and he converted the lines to an air chuck ( which I suppose makes them air springs instead of air bags?) So no, at the time I didn't have a compressor. So my dumb @$$ decided that it was ok to drive like it was. He did a shady job on the bag setup so I changed it since. Still a dumb move on my part
