?2. can air bags raise the rear of car like make it higher?
?3.how are air bags inflated is it like airing up a tire? if yes where is the tube located? or do you have to crawl under the car to inflate? in the 3rd video in the link the man inflates w/ a remote control very cool.
?4.w/ air bags fully inflated can overload the trunk w/ very heavy stuff?
?5.w/ air bags fully inflated how doe's this effect ride quaility like is it a hard stiff ride?

The idea of drag bags is to preload the right tire
against the natural lifting from torque reaction.
Equal downforce makes equal tire traction and
nothing for the limited slip rear to overcome (or
die trying).
I've done the same thing using Gabriel air shocks
and a split Schrader feed. But can't say as it got
me any better 60'.
I put my Schraders up above the license plate at
the back bumper. There's a very old post about all
that.
The drag bags go inside the spring and I would not
look for more cargo capacity out of them, particularly.
Air shocks are intended more for that use.
