I've been looking for airbags for my dad's buggy. This is the first time I've really looked into them and I'm not sure I'm looking at the right ones.

I'm looking at airbagit.com but don't know which ones.

When I was considering AirBags, I called the guy at Airbagit and he was VERY helpful.

They're on this page. #3800. What most run if space allows. I had to move alot to fit them into mine but they are amazing. http://www.airbagit.com/v/vspfiles/page ... s_PAGE.htm

I called airbagit and they talked me into the 2600 lbs bags and I am running 2x3 arms to get full travel out of the arm I had to mount them near middle of arm then with the weight of the buggy on them I have to put close to 70 psi in them to get good ride height. Then the ride was to stiff and spring boards over bumps. So i had to air them down and lost a lot of ground clearance to get a nice ride. If I was to do it over again I would get the 3800lbs bags. They are taller and would take less psi to hold up buggy so would be a better ride.

Thanks guys. I may order the 4 pack of them. I think it comes out to about $260. This way I can try them on my dad's buggy and if they work much better than expected I can add them to mine and just change the air shocks over to emulsion shocks. My buggy is just a tad heavy for 2.0 shocks and I could do this cheaper than 2.5 airshocks. If not I'm sure I could sell the extra two.
