If you happen to live in an area where roads look like they were subject to a Grenade hauling driving around losing it's cargo (aka 90% of our roads here)...the X's suspension isn't really going to help your case. It's really just the nature of the beast.

Here's the good news: The one thing I immediately noticed after switching to air was that the bags seem to filter out more of the road vibrations that the springs transmit. As for soaking up bumps, I've noticed that in my "High" setting (more or less standard ride height of a factory 3.0) it does take bumps a bit better than my lowered ride height...but both better than the coils IMO. Whether or not it would be enough to justify the cost, It would be your call! (I'd do it all over again without hesitation!!)


My X is apart in the garage at the moment as I'm working on some upgrades to my air system amongst other things....but I'm hoping to have it back on the road by the 25th (that includes summer wheels on with the exterior clayed, compounded, sealed & waxed). We can definitely head out after that!!
