Its a custom build. Sleve bags in the rear, and 2500lb up front. You need to build custom cups to fit into the spring pocket for the bags. Easy to do as long as you installed bags on anything else.

Honestly, go hydraulics if you're really looking for a pneumatic suspension. I was going to bag mine at first, but then realized how much fabrication was going into it and went for the better route.

Uh, my car rides 1,000,000 times better than any bagged car I've ever been in. I have two batteries, and have had them for two years with no issues.

Our cars are almost essentially "plug and play" with hydraulics. The only modification needed is to widen the diameter of the shock hole. That's it! Everything else bolts in.

Bags would require a lot of fabrication to not rub, and then where are you even going to fit shocks on the front of our cars?

My car sits lower than any bagged setup, gets twice the amount of lift (and therefore twice the suspension travel) and has a much nicer looking setup.

100% bolt-in my ass. I was not refuting what you said, but the stereotypes of hydraulics being a harsh ride and needing to run a tremendous amount of batteries.
