STERLING STINGER Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 does anyone have any info on those air bags you put in your front springs? I'm installing my plow on my 92 for this winter my truck will sag down a good 2-3" when i put the equivlent weight of the plow on now. the plow is a 2000 meyers e-47 i have heavy duty, oem springs on my truck now. i just don't want it to be so low in the front, you know? i am open to any other suggestions, (affordable), that will also work thanks in advance guys paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I have used them a couple times. I was satisfied with their performance. Never had any under the front springs, always the rear but I don't see how that would make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody4359 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 ive been looking into them for sorta a progressive bump stop. i believe they are tj rears, and firestone makes them. contact them and tell them what coils (lifted or not) and I'm sure they can set you in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadiseMJ Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Have you looked in to ACOS? Screw down to go up, screw up to go down. About $250-275 a pair. Solid...won't pop, leak or wear out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The ACOS wouldn't be very user friendly for what he is try to accomplish. I believe AirLift makes a kit for the XJ front end.... http://www.strutmasters.com/XJ-Cherokee ... 2-jxjc.htm May be better vendors out there, this was the first in Google. I really want a set of bags for the back of my TJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STERLING STINGER Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 I've used Firestone bags with great success did you put the top plastic piece on or leave it? I called the company and they said the top plastic, to prevent the bag from puncturing on the top was unnesesary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986Comanche Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 They're actually called air springs, not airbags. Airbags are what protect you in an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
