Airbag Suspension

tigergibb · 10-05-2007, 10:10 PM

I have trouble fitting in parking decks downtown. If I can do an airbag suspension setup for under $2,000... I would save money by being able to fit in the parking decks.

I have a lifted 2003 Nissan Xterra. It uses a leaf-spring suspension in the rear.

I don't know where to start in researching this endeavor. I've been searching google, but to no avail. There's just a bunch of articles explaining what the suspension setup is.

If anyone can help me, please post.

check places like truckin or minitruckin magizines they do airbag stories all the time...and the tech should be the same just with taller bags and no notching the frame

do you do a lot of off-roading?

Don't really have enough time or money to right now. I decided not to go with the airbag setup because of the problems associated with it. The truck is my daily driver, so I don't want to compromise ride quality.

I did a custom air suspension setup on my car, there are not a lot of problems...

Alright. The main reason for not doing it is that I would have to replace my front and rear suspension with different types. I would also have to remove the front sway bar, which would definately cause problems on the freeway.
