You may just be stuck then Mark.

Whenever I planned out my past suspensions, air or static, wheels play a huge part in whats gonna work, and whats not.

Granted these multipiece and billet wheels took nearley a month for each set to be made, but once built & installed from spec's given, I can tuck these 24x10's for example, while getting ever so close to laying frame right now.

link? :)

I'd say with some plastic removed here and there, everything should be gravy. If it got as low as it was in teh pic, I'd be totally happy, but of course, there is definitely room for more... the only issue is the safety aspect. If a bag blows out on the highway, I'd like to know that I can at least drive the car enough to get to the side of the road.

Its all in the setup. If, god forbid a bag blows, im still setup for clearence all around, where I can still drive the truck. You should NEVER have a blow out of an air bag, if you do, it was installed wrong and rubbed something you never clearenced. Air leaks, now thats another story.. they happen, but are easily fixed the first time around with the proper thread sealent. Ive seen some real hack jobs with valve and tank setups, and I wouldnt trust even driving next to them on the road.

yea, i don't see it happening... especially in such a light car... but I'd feel much better drivin it around if I knew I'd be alright in that situation.
