My idea is to be at stock height with bags deflated and of course lifted when you air them up. Ive got to do some looking around.

Feefguy: That site has nothing for the front lift on a Dodge, only rear which is what I find a lot of.

You will just need universal kits

How did you make out on this? Have you looked into it yet?
I think it might be sweet to have airbags, and like you say deflated to stock ride height.
Now how would towing do with airbags? Would it make things a little harder...or better?
I am considering doing this at one point, just to get a little bit of a lift when i need it in 4x4 or whatever...

Ive looked into it and the cheapest place I have found so far for a complete kit is airbagit and thier complete PnP FBSS kit is 1600. Everyone will have kits but you have to do the wiring and placement of valves, ECT.

Airbagit has the tank, compressor, air valves and everything already put together so all you need to do is mount the bags and plumb the air lines and then the power and grounds.

But the thing is I already have a VIAIR 380c and a 3gal tank. IDK need another although it would be good to have a backup but you can get those compressors off ebay all day for a good price.

So IDK. Im still looking but Ive got to sell my rims/tires and my Warn setup first.

Ive got the link to my rims and tires in my sig if anyone is interested. I will sell mu complete Warn Trans4mer grill, Warn winch carrier, Warn winch cover and Warn winch all for 1500 if anyone is interested. There are pics in my sig link

Hmm, that is an interesting idea. I say go for it and let us know how it works out.

I wonder how would bags change your towing?

guys use bags all the time to tow with. They are primarily used to keep the rear from sagging so I dont see an issue with it.

Hopefully you will be able to move those wheels and tires fast to get the air bag system. Then you can sell the lift too.
