Air bags

22hemi13 · Oct 3, 2013

I have a 2/4 belltech drop on now. Was thinking bout cutting down to achieve a 3/6. I can put rear springs in. Can I pump it up enough to have a 4" drop on rear? And are there any springs for front. I love the lowered look. But need. A little height sometimes and don't like hitting bump stops on bumps. I don't want to put a full air suspension on. I'm thinking of helper bags with just a little pressure to change spring rate. I'm i on the right track or is it a waste of time?? Any help woul be great.

You won't get 2" of lift with the helper bags. I get about 5/8" of a lift and I have more spring to expand than you.

Ok good to know . We'll then the helper bag will def help the difference in height between left and right. Not looking for a huge change I'd like to go lower just don't like hitting bump stops.

That's a very tough balance to strike. I would take it baby steps until you're happy; if you go 1 step too far you'll need another set of springs ($350) to go back.
How much are you off from side to side? If I get 5/8" rise off springs cut only 2", levelling anything close to that would be tough with shorter springs, and it would ride funny with 5psi in one side and 30psi in the other.

I wouldnt use the bags to try and level side to side unless its for an uneven load. I find that even just 5 psi changes ride quality, I wouldnt want one side to be soft while the other is stiff while driving around

Good info. See that's why I like this place. I didn't think about all that. Guess I'll have to cut the springs some. It drives me nuts knowing its uneven. I'll probably do it when I have spohn upper and lower controll arms and panhard bar installed.
