That's badass man. Aside from jeeping, I also race mx and we have started to see air forks used on a few bikes. Like u said, to change ur setting all u gotta do is hook a bike pump on it which is insane. Thanks for the info

No you have to use nitrogen so that temp change won't affect your rates or height and depending on the weight of you jeep the pressures can get higher I run 300 psi on the upper part of my shocks in the front and 100 psi on the lower then in the rear I run 310 over 150 currently

Yeah it is what really made me choose them also and the ability to change spring rates in a matter of minutes did too and I figured if I didn't Like them is just sell em and buy coilovers but I'm totally happy and with just a bit more tuning ill have them perfect

And you just keep a nitrogen bottle in the rig erh what? I saw an xtreme 4x4 where they were building a trail runner rig out of a 2500 with a utility bed and they had a nitrogen bottle with a release valve or some missile on it. I'm thinkin the same thing could be done to a jeep if you wanted to adjust on a trek

Btw I really like your rig and mr dirty's. I'm doing a motor swap this summer hopefully and eventually converting some 60'sout of a 2nd gen dodge but anyway.. I've had my jeep for half a year now and the possibilities are endless

Not sure what "air forks" are, but I'll take a guess that they work like an air shock? Air shocks really aren't in our realm due to the weight. The ORIs are not air shocks, they are struts. They have very different characteristics. Take some time and search on PBB, you'll find more info there on these, but all one should ever really need to know is that it's true.... it does feel like riding on a cloud of titties!
