Default AirRide suspension

I was thinking of getting a 4-Link AirRide suspension kit so that I could roll on 26's for DD then slap on the 28" DR's for the track. I am trying to get a good ride but still be able to take it to the track. Has anyone else tried this setup yet?

That's what I have , works good. Too low air pressure in the bags and you start to get a mild wheel hop though. What's cool is I have a hose and chuck that can be plugged in to the air tank to fill the slicks.

What times are you putting down with your setup? What did you have before you went with air bags?

Had a flip kit. Kept breaking the pass side lower shock mount, when it loosened a bit it got serious wheel hop. I've made so many changes it's not fair to compare the numbers from the dragstrip. Right now I'm waiting for custom made steel wheels to mount the ET streets and get back and see. My best on toyo proxes,stock converter was 2.1 sixty 8.9 @81.3 mph at the 1/8th strip.

Not enough people running airbags to get any real world pointers.
