i have the airbar, if ur gonna wanna lay out, dont get it because it will take alot of modification to get it to do so..if you're not worried about laying out then get it..on another note though, it rides very nice lol

Re: air bar questions

ok Im Very Tired Of All These Airbar Questions I Dont Know Why You Guys Dont Just Call Art. If You Notch With The Airbar You Will Blow Out The Shocks Supplied With The Kit When You Lay Out. Does Everyone Understand This? The Shock Cannot Compress That Small Safely Unless You Run Shorter Shocks That Will Limit Your Lift You Will Blow Them With A Notch On The Airbar

oh and by the way..you say you will blow the shocks when you "lay out"..since you're the airbar guru, why dont you explain to me how i can lay out with just an airbar and 2.25 notch?

Re: air bar questions

yeah see he is talking bout laying out with the airbar assuming frame, and blowing shocks, but i dont lay frame just have it notch so my axle wont go when slamming it down since the airbar lets the axle meet the frame when no notch is there
