its personal preference. Ill probly never go back to bags. juice is faster, no fill times, can ride just is good, if not better than bags, and can be very realiable...

Bags ride good with shocks.. But otherwise they ride really "Boaty" or bouncy, depending on the bag size.. if you dont have shocks it will ride like total shit. You dont have to worry about fliud leaks, But you do have to wait for tank pressure to build.

Bags you can fully control all 4 corners for cheaper, all you need is 8 valves. Juice you need 4 pumps and 4 dumps to have complete control over each corner

imo, juice is better. MY truck rides exactly like a dropped truck. IT doesnt have shocks, So sometiems if you go over a bad bump, it gets kinda boucny, But that will be fixed once i put the shocks in. AS long as everything is tight, You replace your seals, And maintain everythign, you wont have to worry about leaks. I have an old system, and the only leaks i have are from the tank on the pumps.. When i lay it out, all the pressure in the tank leaks out the fill nut, and a few drops spew out. So i need to get new tanks. Otherwise i hav no trouble with my setup.

in the end it all comes down to personal preference.. ALot of people talk shit about juice, And i think its because most people are so ignorant on the subject. Some people feel juice doesnt have its place in minitrucking.. But the truth is, juce is the OG of adjustable suspension, and will always have its place.


That bagginit site is biased.. the guy who runs the site posts on s10forum, and is a total douchebag. he thinks he's god or something.. thinks hek nows more than everyone else. If you read the air vs juice thing, it says "lowered overall vehicle perfomance" like WTF? my engine wont run as good if i juice my truck? The guy is a complete tool bag. He's another one who knows nothing, and talks like he knows everything.. HE makes it sound like you have to charge the batterys every day, and they always leak.. and it says "Reletively high mantenance".. Dude i havent touched my juice in months. I put new solenoids in, and rewired my swithces and batteries when i got the truck, and that was it.. nver had the slightest hint of trouble. So i dont know whats so high maintenance about that lol.


Everyones gonna have their own opinon.. In order to get the best views.. yuou need to talk to someone who has had both.. or at least has experience in both.. and by experince.. i dont mean reading forums lol. Because people who have juice, or have had juce, will tell you its not 1 10th as bad as its made out to be. It gets a bad rap for no reason.
