Its all in the setup. If, god forbid a bag blows, im still setup for clearence all around, where I can still drive the truck. You should NEVER have a blow out of an air bag, if you do, it was installed wrong and rubbed something you never clearenced. Air leaks, now thats another story.. they happen, but are easily fixed the first time around with the proper thread sealent. Ive seen some real hack jobs with valve and tank setups, and I wouldnt trust even driving next to them on the road.

yea, i don't see it happening... especially in such a light car... but I'd feel much better drivin it around if I knew I'd be alright in that situation.

well I have a plan B, since I do not have the actaul Strut kit in hand b4 install... I want to have it so in an emergency situation, if a line were to give and the bags were to completely air out there will be no metal on tire contact.... we can make new cups for the rear if need be and strut mount spacers for the front as need.

If you're doing struts in the front, there is an internal bump stop for when you are air'd out. This is to keep the bag from collapsing on itself.. not good.

Rear for this car will be cake walk. Fronts just as easy IF you go with ART's shockwaves. There are a ton of ways to set up an air suspension, lots of things to consider, but for safety, its not a beginers weekend project.

we plan on using a kit fron airbagit.com part#FBS-TOY-40-KIT2
<---- not a beginner

If your not a beginner then you should already know what CRAP airbagit.com is.

Search the internet, look under;

AIM Industries
Chassis Tech
Air Ride Pro
Air Bag It

Its all the same company, under different names. There has been TONS of reports against their company for ripping people off, and selling junk parts.

I though you were a Mini Trucker at one time, how do you not know of AIM??

SPKRMAN, go with a well known company, with awesome products. www.ridetech.com and look up their shockwaves. They are the ORIGINAL maker of air struts, and AIM/Chassis Tech/AirBagIt/etc. have been "trying" to copy and market similar products for years.
