Why QA1's? I would think something like Koni's would fit this...car better.

You could adjust it so that the leaf spring allows the car to fully drop, but just barely. It would make the front bags lift quicker, be less strained and allow full shock extension all while running less air pressure. Plus, if a bag blew you could limp home because the full weight would not be on the bumpstop.

I think it's great in theory. Steel leafs are heavy and thin and fiberglass leafs are made in limited spring rates and thick so I guess steel is the way to go. I don't know, what do you guys think?

I haven't heard back from Universal Air on why my front bags are not fully expanding. These bags may not have enough load capacity. They are used on Magnums and 300C with 185 psi and those cars fully lift. I dont know what's up with mine. Any thoughts?

i noticed a shop compressor didnt work 4 me while i was working on the car
it would lift it but not fully

try getting a air tank and charge it at 180 psi and use it
