Air Cylinders suck. They ride almost as bad as hydros. You can make bags just about as fast. As for Shawn, Don't spare costs. Get a four corner setup, especially with the power you have

Air cylinders don't ride to bad if done right with accumulaters. But the bags will ride better. I was just curious if some one had done it on our years.
