AIR BAGS

[J15BIG]

Has anyone put airbags on their L so they could riase or lower it any time they wanted. I want to be able to go really low or go back to stock or even higher any time I want. If i do end up doing this, will handleing be better or worse? Has anyone done this before to their L.

thanks

I'm not sure if anyone has done it but if you click on the link below this will give you an idea how it would look. This is my truck with a photoshop job done on it. I think it looks great..

Putting bags it will make a big difference in the apperance. It will also affect the handling but how good or bad that might be will depend on what you are using the truck for after the bags are installed. If you plan on racing the truck, drag or road course, I wouldn't put the bags in. If you're just planning on riding around a showing the truck you probably wouldn't notice any real bad side affects.

One thing you might want to consider is what putting the bags in will do to the resale value of the truck in the long run. I don't think I'd buy a used vehicle that had been bagged. JMHO :ud:

I dont know anyone who has backed an L, but I do have a good friend that has a 98 F150 on fast bags. His truck looks awesome, but the ride quality is noticably bad. Also, the truck cannot be driven with the backs fully inflated because when they are, theyare rock hard and make the ride even worse than it already is. As FlaSVT said, I would not do it if you are going to do any kind of racing. If not, your truck will look bad ass, but you won't be too happy with the ride quality.
