best ride on air bags?

never herd anyone say they like BoverA, me personally hated it in my fullsize, and in my buddies toyota. hence we both now run BonBar, and she ride like a dream, with enough lift to keep you from being on a reverse rake. just my 2 cents

yeah, i have the bags on the axle too, it does ride better than stock but it's still a lil stiff...im running a mono shock in the rear so it keeps the bounce down but if you fourlink it and put the bags on the bars, it give you more leverage and it will ride nicer.. ive ridden in both, mine and then my buddy's who has the bags on the axle..ill be the first to admit it, his rides smoother at cruisin speeds better than mine does.

it all really depends how high off the ground you like to roll. if you like to ride real low i think on the axle gives a better ride

personally anything bagged with shocks seems to ride good

i agree with downlow... if you are dragging a good amount, normally you want a stiffer setup (bag over axle), you can ride lower and tap the ground less, but if you go with a cantilever setup, (2 link or 4 linke, 3 link or whatever) it rides nicer but you have less control when riding low. thats a bad run-on sentance... I peronsally perfer to ride harder... dayum that sounds gay. haha

i don't forget i got 2, one stock and one not

Do your homework! There is a relatively small range of spring-rates that will offer the ride quality you are looking for (whatever it might be.) The less travel you have the stiffer the spring-rate should be. Stiff shocks do not adequately counteract short travel circustances. The springs are what hold the vehicle off of the ground.

The double convoluted bag was designed to be used in a leveraged system. If you plug a double convoluted bag with no pressure in it, you will play hell trying to colapse it by hand. They have, by design, a high spring rate. That is why not many people complain about the ride of the front end (only lift issues.) So if you are going to use the double convoluted bag on the rear, build a system that will allow it to be mounted under leverage. If you need to build a simple system and cannot mount the bag as such, use a BIG bag or a sleeve style bag. The sleeve bags were designed to do exactly that.

Hearing people say that they like the way there truck rides with the bags on the axle, is like someone braging about how they like the way their Gonasyphaheralitus makes there penis feel when they pee. You get used to it. Just like bdroppeddak
said about forgetting how their trucks rode before.

Once again, I mean no disrespect to any of you, but this is something that I have done a LOT of research on.

I have not gotten used to it. LOL I personally like stiffer suspensions, esp for little trucks, just cause I tend to drive hard, and yes its allot harder than a "factory" ride and I don't think i'll ever get used to peeing anymore. (

do a cantilever set-up, or just put ur bags on the 4-link bars, it rides real nice, mine does

There is nothing wrong with prefering it that way, but you aren't telling everybody how great it is.

The burning sensation will go away soon enough.
