Guest thebestskibum Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hey has anyone here ever thought about air bags on a pathfinder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisnc100 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Quite a few have them, I've got just the bags but others have the full kit with compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Several people have done air bag suspension. There are a few options in doing so, though. There is the AirLift airbag system, which will take some of the strain off the coils, and reduce sag and give you some control over ride height. Then there is the lowrider airbag system which has been done by a couple of people...InSanIuM comes to mind (98 QX4 with airbags and supercharger...haven't seen him around in a LONG time though, don't know if he still has his truck). Which type system are you interested in? If we had a little bit more information, we can give you more detailed answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I know Keith (System-f over on 4x4parts) is planning on going with a full airbag (no coils) suspension. It will be interesting to see what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I dont know a single thing about these... What exactly is it - and why would someone want it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 They are used for handeling heavier loads (mostly). In laymen terms Picture a big heavy duty rubber balloon inside your coil spring that can be adjusted via air compressor. If the air is removed, your susspension returns to normal. If you inflate them, your susspension gets stiffer. But for a more technical explanation , check out this link. http://www.airliftcompany.com/ Denis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thebestskibum Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 yes their are those kind, but their are also complete air bag kits. Meaning you take your coil springs out and replace them with air bags making your suspesion adjustable. Like the porsche cayennne or the VW touareg. So you could lift your car/suv/truck, ride at stock height or even lower it, all with a flip of a switch. http://airbagit-store.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
