Installation
The biggest drawback of an air bag suspension has always been installing it. Fortunately, the newer air bag suspension kits have reduced the need for cutting and drilling. However, you will need to drill holes to mount the compressor, manifold and tank. If you own a car or light-duty truck, there’s going to be problems with space, not to mention the noise factor whenever the compressor decides to kick in.
Expense
If you want the smooth ride that air bags offer, you’re going to have to pay for it. Without including labor, you’ll be looking at a couple of thousand dollars. If you decide to install it yourself to save on labor costs, there are quite a few components in the box. If you’re not a gear head, the task is probably above your pay grade.
