Do a search in this section. I know there were a couple threads about this over the last few months. Someone piped up and said he had them and seemed pleased.

Default pricey...

about 2700.00, other sites are selling a.r.t. systems for same price, might as well go straight to the source. I looked into other systems, love the plug n play setup. simple, reliable and very clean.takes a bit of time to set the tank, valves, module...ect in a sanitary place and wiring needs to go under carpet. total time to set EVERYTHING...2 full weekends. its not brain surgery, just time consuming.
buy the way, weight difference between all removed stock suspension, including panard, trailing arms,front struts, and added air suspension....added 8.5lbs.
