i've never had bags

but when i had my juice on my 99 ram, it rode better than a factory ride, i did have accumulators & the only problems i ever ran into were the seals in the front cylinders leaking & its simple to change the seals & also the cheap check valves that came in the prohopper kit sucked & i changed them over to parker check valves & no problems

i had 4 batteries & that would last about a week before needing a charge, i would just pull it in the garage & let it charge over night so charging batteries was never really an issue, if i didnt have access to a garrage i would deff have gone w/ a street charger.

have fun with either setup you go with!!
