    Airbag man helper bags +50mm in stock coil?

    Hi all,

    Searched to no avail.

    I have stock length coils in the back of my 110 puma - wanting to put in airbags to stiffen up when loaded up for touring (have thrown in some 300lb/inch linear rates which are beaut on road and unloaded).

    Planning a lift down the line (I am aware of pros and cons so don't want to go down that path of discussion).

    Question is - will the +50mm airbag fit in a stock coil just fine, or alternatively will the stock height airbag be at a detriment in a +50mm coil down the line?

    Cheers in advance

    Gus

    My experience - Air bag man sell you a helper bag that fits a stock coil. For +50mm they give you a 50mm spacer. For larger lift they give you more spacers. They gave me 2 x 2" of spacers on each side for my 3" lifted coils.

    Personally, I think the bag needs to suit the spring it goes into, i.e. the correct length for the current spring. Adding spacers down the track as MLD suggested is not a bad way of adapting the setup for the lift. I think that the Firestone 6010 bags would be the most suitable for a +2" LIFT. If you buy them from the US, they can be much cheaper than local.
