And I thought it was obvious Jeff was not reply to this thread, but
to someone that can't get their Jeep inside their garage.

Re: Air lift
Thanks for all the help. 1 thing I am not sure about is that the air
bags go inside the coil, and then are inflated. Does this mean that
the lift is realized by inflating the bags so that they relieve the
pressure on the coils? This would make the coil less compressed thus
the lift? But if you were off- roading and articlated on 1 side this
would mean that the spring could not really compress, unless the air
bag is force out the side of the springs, but they might get pinched
by the coil.
Is this how they work with springs?
I would have thought that it would have been better to make a small
spacer that would fit under the coil and when you inflated it, it
would act as a coil spacer. Does this exist or is there something
wrong with this approach?

Re: Air lift
Please reconsider the folly you are about to embark upon.
Airbags will completely destroy any kind of articulation you might want
expect while offroading. The ride will be seriously choppy if not downright
dangerous.
