Air Lift Bags

I built a Datsun 620 a little over a year ago using the 2b6 (2500#) bags on top of the upper control arms- the setup was done quick and dirty, and the bags went through crazy angle changes- up to about 20 degrees!
The same set of bags is still rolling on this truck, at 185 psi (edc rocks!), because there are bumpstops set that limit the lift travel.
Not to sound like an AirLift spokesperson, but they are crimping them differently now, and the problems we used to see aren't popping up nearly as often.
Of course, for 10-20 bucks more per bag, why wouldn't you just run a Slam instead? More lift, better ride, and NO issues!
We'll continue to offer both bags with our kits, but the Slam bag reigns supreme right now!

like stated before.... i believe those airlifts are rated at 150psi.. but everyone wants to run more air, thats why they blow most of the time.... samething with firestone.. i hear all the time they suck ... but ive had them on my nissan for many years -- no problem.... its just people want to be cheap and run 200psi in an airbag thats rated for 150max with a 150psi aircompressor .. then they wonder why the compressor gives out and bags blow....
but all and all.... Slams seems to be the best in the mini custom field....

yes, I killed my 2 front bands the first time I got the truck to full lift. I couldnt find my paperwork so they wouldnt warranty them. I went to contis and just bought some slams this weekend.

Phil,does this problem applay to the Air Over Shocks you showed me??

The Air Over Shocks, Strut Bags, and other products AirLift makes haven't had this problem, because they move straight up and down and are limited by the stroke of the shock/strut assembly. I've seen a couple of isolated cases of ring failure, but they were usually due to installation errors or running too much pressure.
