Those with Air bags. ???:
Those with Air bags. ???: With the rubber circle. Did you cut that down any, or did you install it as it is? Do you have the line coming out the bottom of the spring, or the top?
Does the bag work by expanding out? Because when I put it inside the spring, it only covers about half of the spring. Of course, the spring is not compressed.
I want to make sure I am doing it right. any pics would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have the air line coming out the bottom of the spring. Its just above the pass side exhaust tip. I drilled a hole through the flange below the bumper and mounted the schrader valve there. When you lower your car the spring will compress and the bag will fit snug. You need to run at least 5 psi in the bag to prevent damage to the bag.

i did mine the same way, line comes out of the bottom, air bag sits on top of the rubber doughnut untrimmied
havent ran the lines yet
and my airlift brand airbags says you need 35psi minumu to avoid damaging the bags.

Put mine line through the bottom hole. No trimming of any type. I have varied the pressure from 0 to 18lbs depending on track conditions. Just enough pressure to stop the car from bouncing off the tires. Once the spring is compressed the air bag prevents the spring from compress any further. Once the bag has been in the spring for a while, they are a bitch to get out.

With my suspension setup I run 22psi to keep the body square at launch and the tires planted.
