I hope it is not the type of air suspension that works with air bags. Not the best idea for off roading.

[QUOTE=YmansJK;204856]AirRock kit is pretty nice and works excellent off road. However a long arm kit is needed for the 6 inch. I would go with rubicon but u have a choice between rubicon and nth degree I think.[/QUOTE

With the JK the arms are long enough that all you need is the Airock kit. ORO is claiming that you do not need a seperate lift kit with the Airock on the JK.

Land Rover has been using air bags for years... their cross linked suspension works very well.

It seems as if they would get punctured, doesn't it?

When I went wheeling in Colorado earlier this year, I bumped into a fellow board member from Omaha, NE that had the AirRock system. He seemed very pleased with it. I drove behind him down a moderate trail and he seemed to have no problems what so ever..and when he gets back on the highway, lowers for optimal gas mileage.
