Not sure if it's new ownership though.

Default Air Suspension Thoughts

*Putting things where they can be serviced is as important as a quality installation.
*Air suspension is not a place to 'cheap-out'. The higher end 'automatic' kits w/electronics & sensors make things nice but can also be the achilleas heel when there's a failure. Simple installs aren't a bad thing either.
*Heat & chafing of lines when using plastic tubing & rubber to metal contact of an air-spring are common failure points.
*Understanding the limits of the system to get the most out of it (air pressure & alignment targets).

No question air ride has its place. I have it on my Tourliner. 6 bags 2 compressors and 5 gallon tank and it is 10K lbs. Been trouble free for years. My Cgt is coilovers. Its 4" static off the ground and built to go around corners.

Both have their merits. I tend to lean more to the coilovers as it is usually cheaper and less complicated. But it depends on the build.
