Post subject:  Air Bags????
I am looking to get some adjustable clearance on my buggy and I am thinking about adding coil-overs or air bags.

I have heard from a lot of people that airbags with torsion bars works very well. My torsion bars work fine and I can rotate another spline but I was hoping to get something that I can easily adjust.

If I wanted to use air bags with my torsion bars, what air bags would you recommend? Or would I be better of getting some coil-over shocks that I can adjust.

Thanks Mike.. I saw that post and was wondering, what size bags to get? After reading the airbag website, they suggest getting the largest diameter bag possible.

would you even need air bags if you was going to run air shocks? I know some guy's around here are just running air shocks and they do great.

What kind of advice do you have that only runs junk yard stuff such as air bags.

Go to a tractor trailer junk yard, pull the bags off there. As far as cars go, not a clue, don't hang out in many junk yards. I spend my time in a machine shop making stuff.

ive been running the 2.0 fox air shocks for about 5 years, and i like them, the only thing i have a problem with, in order to support my buggy, i need to pump the shocks up to 500 psi. last winter, i added the 4 inch round air bag to help out. now im able to drop the psi down to 400 in the shocks. if i had to do it again, i would buy the fox 2.5 shocks.

Which air shock you get is dependent on the weight of the back of the car. If your well under 500# a corner the 2.0 Fox Air will be fine. Anything close to 500# or over you need the 2.5 Fox Air.
If you want ultimate adjustable and a user friendly system, air bag it.
