I just used the Air Ride bags that go inside your springs to stiffen them up for launches at the drag strip. They don't lift the car, but they keep it from compressing.

Re: anyone with air bags.

My understanding is that those bags aren't intended to raise the height of the car, and they certainly didn't on mine. Sorry, I can't remember the pressure that goes in them... it's been a long time since I had them.

Re: anyone with air bags.

I installed mine because my springs had gotten weak and the car was sagging a little too much. They raised it back up to a good level. The range for psi is 5-30 psi. Be carefull when filling them up though because it doesn't take much to fill them up to 30psi, not much volume to fill up.

Re: anyone with air bags.

Cool. Was he able to raise the car beyond the height of his springs?
