I believe he's referencing to the air bag suspension setup? I went to a NOPI event over in TN a couple months ago and rep's from www.ridetech.com were there. They mentioned that they'd recently picked up a 4th Gen Camaro for testing purposes in making a setup for them.

I posted a message on their message board a few days ago to check up on the progress on it and they said it was ready.

I'd give them an email or call to see what the pricing would be for the bags/compressor/switches. I'm going to say that it will be in the $2,000+ range for a nice setup.

He's talking about suspension airbags. Off the top of my head i cant remember who makes them, try running a search, Im sure you'll find it there.

a properly done bag setup will probably end up costing between $3,000 and $5,000. i'm still trying to decide if i want to bag the Durango or not.

The only way right now is to have it professionally done. Had mine done by MIC in Anaheim hills CA. Wonderful work. Would be nice to see a kit though. A board member who goes by PCFirebird has done it to his, it is a real nice car, locate it in reader's rides as well.

Check mine:
