I agree with everything that was said. I have = the Betts springs and custom Bilstein shock on my Syncro Westy. = Guess that's as heavy-duty as it gets. I still feel a big = difference when I inflate the bags. Less leaning in corners, = smoother ride off rode, better handling when loaded. The original = test with this system last spring in Hollister were made mainly on Mark = Drillock's Syncro, also with Betts springs and Bilstein shock. As = amazing as it sounds, the air suspension does make a more than = noticeable difference
There's still time to get in on the group = purchase. Pmail me for payment info.
