Default Curiosity: Bags and winter?

I live in a part of the country that regularly sees below-frezzing (heck, below zero) temperatures. Has anyone heard of people running air-ride in the winter in cold areas of the country (or world for that matter)? Would road salt affect the bags or components in any way?

Ive never had a problem in cold weather although I do live in the south..

As far as the actual bags and such I prob wouldnt be to worried.. I would be more worried about teh valves and everything else if there outside..

If thats the main worry you can mount it all inside to prevent sticking

make sure your have a water trap between the compressor and tank, also many people put a cap full of airbrake antifreeze (found in commercial truck stores) in the tank in an attempt to keep the valves from freezing. if you know its going to be cold the next day leave it aired up. Salt and stuff could quickly gum up valves and compressors just try and keep everthing clean and it should be fine. Lots of cars, trucks, and 18 wheelers run air suspension all year round. Its all about proper maintance and preventitive measures.

Yeh I always had a problem with my setup freezing in the morning. I was late for work many days because of this.
