3) If they pop how hard to change and will i be dtuck on the side of the road?
4) How hard to install?

5) do you think i can hook up my air cannon to the system?

I ran bags on my Scion for almost 8 months. it can be a pain.

1- no.
2- dont know. I took them off.
3- If you blow a front bag youre screwed. the wheel well will rub as you drive.
4- not hard at all if youre mechanically inclined
5- yep.

You will want Easy Street fronts and FBI brackets in the rear with 2500lb bags or Slam Specialties.

The bags won't be hurt driving on rough pavement.
Life span of a bag can be a pretty long time. On our S-10, only blew one because of a previous lousy install.

If one blows, shouldn't be any harder to change, as you did put them in there, right? Most blown bags come from rubbing, installed not straight, or too much PSI.

Install is easy if you know what you are doing. If not, have someone to help you or someone who is willing to explain it to you or can call.

You can hook something up to your air if ya want, say an air thingy to fill up a low tire and such.

My number one advice, and i know this will annoy the guy who just praises it, Air Runner isn't worth the money it is, except the front struts. The rest bottem of the barrel air suspension stuff (manual valves) and want at least $3000 for all the stuff you can get a full kit for half the price with a lot better components, such as fittings (i recommend parker push connect), electric valves (SMC is a great valve), and about everything else you need.

Just my 2 cents.

I run all airlift, but if I did it again I'd go airlift front, and FBI on the back. All the info here is very good, I agree with it all 100%.
