air bags?

[STERLING STINGER]

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

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.

What brand is a good one?

[cody4359]

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

Thank you

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.

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....

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.

to install these you have to remove the spring :fs2:

and they seem very weak .....

now I'm thinking about going a diffrent route

 

has anyone ever installed air shocks in the front of their mj?

if so, what brands are suggested?

 

thanks again

I once thought about front air shocks for my MJ - No luck Finding advertised - However, doing the dimension thing on the Monroe E-catalog web site http://www.monroe.com/assets/downloads/ ... hSheet.pdf - - I came up with these 2 shocks that will bolt in.

 

MA822: compressed length 14.5 - - extended length 24.4 - - Travel 9.9

 

MA708: compressed length 12.3 - - extended length 19.9 - - travel 7.6 - - upside down mounting

 

32252: compressed length 13.0 - - extended length 21.1 - - travel 8.1 - - Monroe OEM type front specs

 

Hope this helps.

Then why don't you start off by replacing the sagged out coil springs then go from there?

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.

They're actually called air springs, not airbags. Airbags are what protect you in an accident.
