Yeah, ther'es about 4 or 5 guys that have them or have had them. Most went away from them because of the ride harshness.

Let me think.

1. Visionz first RD had airbags I belive.
2. Guilty
3. Long

That's all I can think of right now.

most went away not from the harshness in fact airbags ride rather smooth which is why you find them on lincolns and jags and stuff

they got rid of them cuz you just cant expect to turn hard and drive hard on them

So where did you all get yours from then? Are there any crazy modifications you need to do to the Tibby for them to fit? (custom brackets, etc.) This is something I would like to do to mine sometime in the future, thanks!

I got them from Chassistech.com . I payed the extra amont and got the prewired kit so i didnt have to wire the valves and compressor or anything. Its worth it. But no its a bolt on kit. I did it in about 3 days. One warning!!! -Make sure the air lines dont rub the tires or you car will drop while your driving on the side of the road. It sucks. But other then that its easy. The best way to check for air leaks is to rub soapy water around all the connections. Sometimes the quick release connectors tend to leak. Just go to homedepot or something and replace them.
