I'm considering some air bags, I was wondering where to get them and about how much the set up will cost?
Thanks

Airbagit.com i believe is the site. Search threw and find the posts on here about them. Theres all kinds of info. I used the #3800. I got mine off a friend for $120 . But i believe with the buy 2 get 2 free comes to about $220 or so . Then ya got a couple shrader valves - inexpensive. Thread sealer paste $10 and my ex's dad supplied all the flat stock i needed for the mounts for free. so i maybe got $140 in it tops. including all hardware bolts etc. :mrgreen: Im currently running the double spring plates with the torsion bars removed. works fine. But my one wheel is leaning pretty bad, think its because the plate is bent from hitting a tree. So ill have the cost of torsion eliminators here soon.

I suggest you Install the torsion Eliminators ASAP as removing the torsion bars removed the strength in the system and the inner and outer spring plate bushings will fail in short time. It sounds like one side has already.
