I just got some Air-Lift airbags from Jegs. They were out of stock on the part # I ordered last time for my 70 GS, so I let them replace them with another part # they told me would work. Well they got here and I'm pretty sure they are shorter, these I got today are 7 inches long and I think my other one was a least a couple of inches longer but the same diameter. The question is will these work? I know the longer ones aren't super long, it's not like they expand and lift the car but they do fill up more of the spring. Thanks Rick
air bag question Rick I will wait for decent reply to this question before deciding on a course of action for us on this matter ! PM me if your getting any private info from other sources ?? Might want to post this on the "bench" forum ? much more traffic there!
My understanding is that the air bags should fill up the spring pocket. Their purpose is to pre-load the springs for a stable launch and reduce/eliminate the twisting of the chassis. I don't know that they were ever meant to lift the car up at all. Mine were within 1/2" to 1" of filling the space with the weight of the car on the springs, if memory serves me right.
