    if you bag your truck properly with bag placement and correct materials your ride will be alot better then a static. alot more expensive then static but alot beter ride if done correctly and worth it seeing your frame or body on the ground

    But on the the other hand...... I can just get in my truck start it up and drive. :evil: Don't have to wait for compressors to fill up my tanks. Don't have to worry bout lines, valves, bags, etc. And runs at least $1000 cheaper.

    Also, if you static drop your truck right you can get a decent ride out of it. I have belltech 2" drop spindles in the front and maintained bout 95% of my factory ride. Same will go for the back when I get Belltech's drop leaf springs. I will be a total of $750 (with drop leafs, drop spindles, and shocks). Whereas a good air setup will run at least $1500-2000. Unless you can install it yourself.

    I like both, but I don't have another car to drive while my truck gets bagged (cause someone else would have to do it). But I do plan on buying another Yota in a few years and bagging that one.

    you dont have to wait for your tank to fill up unless you drain your tank all the time. and if you bag your truck right you wont have to worry about lines busting(DOT APPROVED) and valves breaking(GOOD vlaves for gas liquid and air) and bags that can handle PSI(max psi)

    if you bag it right, there arnt problems. If you static drop it like crap you are gonna have issues. Just do what you are gonna do legit and you wont have issues.

    yes thats why you should use valves that can handle water gas and air etc etc. ..most people run cheap valves strictly for air and when that valve gets introduced to water they fck up...common problem with the old SMC valves. and Air ride. jus be sure to research and do it legitly....good luck bro

    I was the same way. I debated forever if I was gonna bag my truck or not. But like I mentioned earlier, I have nothing else to drive. And I had my bedbox installed which will make it harder to bag.

    Oh, I understand. I just don't have the skills to do it myself. When I get a different truck I'll just drive down to burnzya's and have him bag it for me. :lol:
