Re: Air lift
There's a few guys over in the Rubicon owners forum running it (and
wheeling). "Elff" is one I know of. Useful offroad applications include
being able to run EXACTLY the lift you want to both on and off road, and
changing pressure on the fly in any of the bags to correct an off camber
situation. Seems pretty useful (if not highly expensive) to me.

It sure seems like it would completely screw up you articulation when they
are inflated. It would be like running with really stiff, short springs. I
have them on an Exploder and it is great for towing, etc., but I would
deflate them before heading off-road, or better yet just head out in my
stock height TJ!!

I think they are trying to stiffen them up so they act more like 'real
Jeeps' with leaf springs...
