dose air baggs take away from the handling or add to it? im thinking about it for runner but it cause i like the looks. i dont really know anything about air susspension thats why i asked. thanks.
Honestly, from my experience of driving my bagged X for the last 117,xxx miles, it's a lot of give in take. I feel the maintenance is a bit higher then a static drop but on a nice twisty road I have never had issues keeping up with other xrunners. Now if they make a U turn i'm screwed but thats a different story due to my turning stops which where installed so my breaking probelm would go away. And on wavey/dippy roads i get mad up 'n down travel of my front end that is easily corrected by letting off the gas. While on bumpy roads the X rides like a caddy nice and smooth. I guess that covers how my X rides. Oh and on the twisty roads i have very little body roll from what I've been told from others telling me.
So to sum that up;
PROS= better (in my opinion) handleing on bumping roads and still handles like she's on rails in the corners
CONS= higher maintenance and in my case I cant make U turns
If I was to do all from scratch again with the knowledge I've learned about my truck over the last 6 years of being bagged, honestly I'd do it again but change a few things about my setup, mostly with my 4-link though.
Hope that helps a bit and good luck with your contest.
