Hey guys, I’m thinking about an air bag lift. I do not know too much about them. I know you can inflate and deflate them while you are parked. Does anyone know of a company I can research to find out more about them? Also do any of you have opinions about them such as how they work, how long they last, ect. I’m a 22 year old who was into off roading but I broke my back a year ago and it left me paralyzed.
Thank you

I don't have much experience with the airbag suspensions. There are a few guys around there that run them on their extreme trucks. I haven't seen a kit for the FJC, so you'd probably have to fabricate all the parts. The instant adjustability would be nice, but I think it would be far too much work to install. One company that comes to mind is Airride Suspensions. I also know that Firestone makes airbags for the big rigs. Good luck on your projects.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw these in the 4 Wheel Parts catalog. I do not know how durable they would be to the abuse that can be dished out off road.

Depending on what brand, and what application you buy them for, they can be extremely durable. Just picture the abuse your rubber tire takes in the rocks.
