Ill probably put the bags in with no gas shocks behind them nd keep jackstands under the rear till i need to move it...
Should i let it air up all the way or just partially

If theres no air in and compres the bag theres alittle bit of pitting or little aging near the bottom..
I can take a picture if needed.

But i just dont want it to explode, does the gas shock take weight off the airbag or does the airbag do most of the holding?
The gas stut just to smooth it out?
Bag does the lifting, shock is absorb bumps and recoil back to original position rather than let the vehicle go bouncy bouncy down the road.

why did bmw switch from the nice fuses you could see if it was blown or not simply by looking at it versus the fuses you have to remove in order to see if it's blown???
