Anyone had any experience with these? Any thoughts? Is the sway bar used?

You can alter the air pressure to suit the road and the load inside. You can slam it in the parking lot during the shows and generally have fun with it. These types of control arms are the "thing" in the industry these days, no matter what type of ride you have. Custom, Rod, Muscle Car or Truck! Take pics during the install and be sure and do before and after!

Sorry Andy my fellow Brit, I don`t really know too much about air suspension to give you a genuine / honest answer.

I`m just lowered with Bell Tech drop spindles, lowered springs and a flip kit in the rear.

Thanks Darren.
One of the reasons I ask is because they are from AIM industries (renamed truckinsuspension?) and I have heard only negative things about them. I have no idea why, perhaps someone could enlighten me. $1000 worth of parts to the UK and I need to hear some reassuring words first 8-[

Aim Industries, is a kinda "cheap and cheerful" mass produced company...... They may have good looking products, but I prefer QUALITY that won`t leave you stranded on the side of the road.

I have stopped and helped out many guys, after carshows stranded on the street with busted suspension parts.

I have a saying...... Good is Not Cheap and Cheap IS NOT Good!!
