Air Ride Suspension For A DD?
I need some opinions on bagging my daily driver. Is this a good way to go for something that's getting beat on every day?
On that note, is this kit here: http://www.ridetech.com/store/1982-9...d-level-1.html going to hold up on a DD? If not, what would you suggest?
Thanks!

I don't know a whole lot about air rides so I'm just trying to get advice on longevity and on who to get it from.

18-wheelers use air bags, if that gives you any indication of the kind of durability that air bags can have. Are the aftermarket kits built to the same quality standards for their bags? Probably not but they are still pretty dang durable.

I have had air ride on my oldest thirdgen since 2003 and it has been the best modification with the least amount of issues to date. it was air rides first thirdgen and from what i see here many have continued to use the kit with great success.
installed properly i've only had one issue with a bag from a shops ignorance causing a bag to rub and rupture. keep your bags clean, your lines secure and it's a great setup.
