<center><img src="http://images.4wheeloffroad.com/techarticles/suspension/131_0605_01_z+jeep_wrangler_rubicon_express+shocks _deflated.jpg"></center><p>Why couldn't we replace the spacer requirement when converting to c/o's with a universal airbag? you could get the adjustability of c/o's for ride, etc plus height with the bag. You could even get a very "stiff" bag (high spring rate) so that it didn't deflect much. Hmmmm......

Default I was told you really do not need the spacers, unless you want to run...

above our level 2 ride height.

True or not
I do not know
What kind of height
is needed in snow.

If you want
a low low stance
you can drive
by the seat of your pants

Default I would have thought the opposite...

because the lack of clearance when you 402 the car more than an inch.

I guess the question is how big of a spacer do you need and could that be an interesting way to play with ride height. You could get 2 or 3 different sized and swap them around for different looks.... get a really big one and go off-roading.

Not quite as easy as pushing a button and the compressor doing the work.

Spacers aren't required.

Default Any coilover AR's still have compressor and plumbing? (link)

Here is the link to the article. I looks like the bag is universal and slips over the co.
