Re:air ride 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago  
Ironman:

Thanks.

Really not sure on that one, so i can't really say. You can fill the system to where you can't even push the rear fender down at all. Rock solid. Would be interesting to know.

I've never:
1. Tried the 1K spring
2. Rode 2-up (removal of the passenger set was the first mod)

Cost is around $750-$900 for the air suspension setup. Some places are a little cheaper.
Install is a breeze.

Hope that helps ya.

I had my heart set on a street boutique setup so i could ride lowered with a passenger...after debating it for a long time, i went with a 850-1200 progressive spring from looney, and the flip and grind and its pretty dang low...i jacked up the preload on it all the way and rode to up around 300 or 315 lbs and didnt even come close to scraping anything
i will always want an air ride, but the spring panned out for me
