I'm going to put my vote in for adjustable coil overs. A 4 link and coil overs will give you more than plenty adjustment. I like bags, but for a daily driver I prefer to not ever have to worry about a line or bag failing.

You've got me there....but with a GOOD airbag (Firestone) and braided steel lines the chances of a failure are pretty slim

Wow guys thanks for the good info -- this is the first I've looked into bags with any seriousness and I value all the input.

As long as you don't have any sharp metal for the bag to get shaved down, you shouldn't have a problem with the bags. Most blown bags that I have seen/read come from cutting the front spring perch and not clearencing it for the bag so when the truck/car was laid out the bag was slowly shaved. Don't think I have ever seen/read about any back bags blowing, unless it was just a bad production piece.

Many still use the rubber lines and don't have very many issues with them. Just as a precaution it is recommended to keep some extra line and a few fittings in the truck just incase you need to repair a line. Like said above though, running steel lines would be the ultimate fix.
