I do not have any first-hand experience with this product. I have considered making such a change to my "X", however. I reviewed the website and found it very interesting. Two (2) comments:
1) The rear air bag install looks relatively easy. It looks like the only negative would be the somewhat reduced clearance below the fuel tank--for the square tube that links the two sides together.
2) The front air suspension installation looks relatively easy for the 4X4. The primary concern I would have involves axle wrap. The 4X4 front axle may exhibit some axle wrap under load. Shortening the bottom leaf may make this problem worse than it already is. It may be advisable to combine this with a radius rod to minimize steering of the front axle. I don't know--it is just a concern.
I am just as curious as you. Has anyone out there installed either of these kits?
