I'm putting in a 4-link in the next couple of weeks and have spoken with Air Ride. The say there's no wheel hop, and as far as traction goes, the have a car that puts down 1800hp running their 4 link with Shockwave 9000s (which is what they recommend for me).

i got it so the shocks would work.i have been working on putting my 4 link in.it is not as easy as they say it is . it takes a lot of time to do it right.plus i am mounting the tanks and compressors under the bed. that is a pain in the ***.

I'm not sure I'd run a bag setup without shocks, a bag is nothing more than an air-spring....an if you've ever ridden in something with regular springs and no shocks it is impossible to make it handle safely
