jackpunx Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 barefoot bob has an eyeball fab car and absolutely loves his! They are badass cars I just called the manufacture and asked him about the airbag system.. I guess they did it that way so the guy could load it in a low trailer.. He said its a duning car.. not for jumping and that the airbags were only to adjust the ride height.. very interesting I know funco's have airbags and they seem to work really good for them..

Canman Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I know rig air bags would work but if you ever were to try to even use them as a shocking system of any kind you may as well say bye bye to good old back. They also have allot of sway and roll to them I know first hand from when a buddy and I put air bags in the back of his old dodge. No coils no springs made a special rail set up that went from the front spring hangers down to the rear axle. He also went through allot of U joints due to it wobbling all over the place but the ride felt cool but then again it wasn't aired all the way up either we tried that one to our surprise I swear we felt every little bump in the road. We did end up refining the system so there were no U joints being blown or anything only problem was when he carried any weight in the back of the truck any corner you went around it would lean real bad to that one side. The truck is now back to the way it was with leaf springs under it with just regular ole shocks for absorption. So I could see an air bag set up working to a degree but as far as jumping one of them rails and using the air bags to absorb the shock I am not really sure if that would be such a great idea or not but who know's anything is possible.

Is it roomy or are you snug in there? it hold 500 lbs comfortly, me @ 210 wife 107 son at 135 worked good. my car is not for sale, it rides and handles unbelieveable, the air ride is the best part I hooked a seperate line to each bag and did away with all the switches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
