i have a 72 bagged out, there are a lot of pros, better handling, low look adjustable height and ride better suspension ride, it wont beat you up, like springs i can still take it out to ANY track or road course, read the magazines, thats why all the big boys have them,theyre not just for lowriders and looks anymore, the only con ive had in the year ive had the ride is the compressors and bags come with dot approved plastic lines- get stainless steel lines they wont pop or melt, also make sure to drain comp tank res. becuase moisture collects in tank no biggie just drain and go, the other con, $$$ but thats why we have black holes(hobby) and theres no 12 step program for, also get the upgraded shocks and a arms and dont be cheap good luck look at my pics i can send u more if int, after the shop that built mine i changed his RESTO only mind and now hes doin bags

I've done several installs myself, (plus I do sales/tech support for Air Ride Tech.) We use the "plastic" DOT airline on all of our sytems. This stuff is actually pretty tough, it's the same stuff that they use in big trucks for the air brakes. It's called Synflex. They key is to use common sense when routing the airline. Keep it away from the exhaust. When passing the frame or floor pan use grommets. Avoid sharp edges. The hardline is nice too, but it's a PIA to route. If you are going to hardline it make sure that you use stainless line, regular steel line will rust.

If you have any specific questions about our products just let me know.

I have a 65 on AirRide shockwaves. Skw's 7000 in back, and Skw 1003 front
