Air bag suspension?

[Ry' N Jen]

Has anyone ever thought of using an air bag suspension system in addition to a lift kit, then pumping it up to gain even more ground clearance?
I've seen it used on pick-up trucks and full size S.U.V.s'

This can't be done to liberty, it has diiferent tipe of body mounting, it's not bolted on it's welded...

I do it all the time with the rear suspension. I can get around 2" more lift with them pumped up.

That would explane those red air bags I've seen in some of your posts.
Are those originally for leveling your Jeep when you tow something?

Yea, they are not for lifting the Jeep up but they work out great for that.

Since I have a lifted Jeep, I couldnt use the air bags they make for a stock Jeep since they wouldnt be tall enough. Im not sure if you could lift the Jeep up with those since they are made to just keep the Jeep level when weight is added.

Since my Jeep is lifted, I went with the recommendation of a lost member(eddo) that already had a set of air bags and had the same lift as me. He told me to do with a set of air bags made for a 4runner. They are alittle taller than they need to be so the bags are actually compressed when I do not have air in them.

That make sense?

airbag suspension is horrible. stick to springs, just get longer if you absolutely need the lift.
