Air Bags OEM Or Suncore?

[Bhplumber]

I know everyone says to switch to coils instead of replacing air bags but I have had both and prefer the bags. Does anyone have input on replacing them with OEM $215.00 or Suncore for $249.00

go on ebay and buy them off there for like $300 ish for the pair.

iirc they are Suncore ones, which is what i have installed myself and working great.

it is pretty easy to do, but helps to have a compressor or something to clear the dirt build up on top when taking the old ones off.

you dont have to worry about all the crazy stuff they say.

jack up one side
get underneath and cut the old one out.. bottom half
take the top half out, and disconnect lines.
connect lines and install new bag
turn car on to activate the compressor
slow lower the car to align the bottom half in.

repeat for the other side.


personally i dont think i will ever give up my airride system..

it has saved my ass a few times with the wife when she had a flat.
i woudl swoop in and save the day and collect the sweet payment for being the hero.

couldn't you carry a small portable compressor and provide the same swooping in heroness?

[Hellz]

why take up more room in my cargo area when it is built in...

why spend more $$$ on an extra thing when i already have it

oh I'm not saying to I was just curious when all I read are people with constant issues with air bags then those who switch to springs.

Just wondering.

Wait, how strong is your compressor?

Mine is so weak that pumping up tires is just dumb, I've done it once but since then I've said screw it, it is good enough for the suspension but waste of time for tires to me.
