My air spring chart says that for a F9000 that compressed height is 4.5" ride height is 8-9" and max height is 13" ? In the first pik that i posted where the bag is all crumpled, is that wrong? Cuz that is 4.5", but wouldn't the bag wear out from rubbing on itself?

YAY, i thought so, i dunno what u win, but thanks for the info!!! So the bag won't wear a hole in it self then? When i install the system this weekend i plan on laying my rear bumper right on the ground, then set my bump stop maybe a half or inch higher so it would hit that first, and set up the bags so when i lay out cruising the strip i will be riding the stop rather than the bag. Then when i wanna drag rear bumper i just raise the front a little?, is that how its done?

i have the same bags on mine, when you get air in them and then deflate them they wont crumple up like that, they roll into themselves, i used the shocks to limit how far it lifts and bumpstops to limit how low it goes.
