Any one thinking of or already done air bags?  What are the pro's and con's to bagging a truck?

OH  NO.  Lowering is not my thing nor is needing a ladder to get in and out of my truck.  I saw a Chevy with air ride and it was stock hight.  The only difference is where you would normally see shocks you now see a big black rubber looking bag.  A friend told me it's a air ride system or "Bagged".  Lowering a Titan to the ground is CON in my opinion. 

Thanks for the link wryt01

True true my bad.  I'm just a stock ride hight kind of guy.  Didn't mean to offend anyone honestly.  My best friend wants to raise his Ford and what I tell him is if your going to do it, do right.  Don't do it cheap or make it look cheap.  My Titan is already a huge pain loading my dirt bike couldn't think of raising it not even an inch.  Chevy's are the bomb to load, perfect hight I think. 

My apologizes to the lowered and raised trucks and there owners.

What hasn't been mentioned is the fact that air ride suspensions not only give you the ability to raise or lower a vehicle,  but it rides like a Cadillac. Imagine dropping your truck to the ground like that, loading your dirt bike, raising back to stock heighth, rolling down the freeway to your MX track and then raising it a bit (if needed) when you get there, dropping it to the ground again, and go riding. Sounds pretty good to me...

GregV that sounds awesome.  See you have some type of dealing with Mossy which is also awesome.  I live in Murrieta and work at MCAS Miramar .  Here's the question, how much would something like that set a fellow Titan owner back?  Does the air ride affect payload and towing at all, as far as capacity?

I'm not sure how much or about the towing, but I would imagine it would cost around $2g or so. I would imagine you could tow also, but best to ask someone with the #s.

Has anyone tried to find a shackle lowering kit? I haven't been able to. I want to drop the rear about 2-3 inches just to level it out.
