That is why I was hoping to find a air bag when it is all they way aired up will be about 1-2 inches shorter than I already have .Maybe that might solve my ride height and ride comfort issues.

Did you cut out and replace your bumpstops? Check out the DJM page for the instructions. This gives you more throw in your suspension, and prevents you from bottoming out so much.

/I'm gonna check to see, I can't really remember. I just moved into my new house and I guess I'm trying to do too much at once and getting side tracked but I'll look.Thanks

blue 01- I can't get the web page to work . I liked the way the coil springs rode . It is way better than the airbags. But I can't tow my car and trailer without the bags. I would like to get some more info on the set up you have pictured.
