Is Ride Quality Affected When Unloaded Using the Air Lift 1000

Question:
Will these affect the unloaded ride quality if running 5psi minimum as recommended? Im debating on whether to go with these or the timbren enhancement bump stops.

Hey Matt, no, the ride quality of an unloaded vehicle with an Air Lift 1000 Air Suspension Kit # AL42WQ is not affected when 5–10 lbs of air is in the bags. The Air Lift 1000 bags firm up the rear coil springs to prevent sagging and bottoming out, which can make for a safer and more comfortable ride when loaded.
