NOTE: Air suspensions work best to maintain ride height as the total load changes, like a full trunk and back seat. When used to allow an extremely low PARKED height, the rule is to always return the vehicle to normal ride height for driving. Driving it lowered or raised can damage tires, ball joints, and low hanging components. Sway bars are very difficult to fit on air front suspensions, and require extra effort. A rear sway bar will control the body roll effectively and make it much easier to fit.
