Air-bag installer needed

I know a few of you have air bags on your vehicles, what info can you enlighten us with. The application is for my coworker's 2000 Navigator. More than looks, he'd like to install them for functionality due to hauling around a snowmobile trailer in wintertime.

The navigator (or at least his) has 4wd and does not have an air ride option to his knowledge. if it does and he just doesn't know it...he still wants it to sit up higher for the trailer and sit lower when he parks it in his drive.

Since he'd like to independantly raise or lower the rear and front, what kind of setup would you recommend? (ie, he doesn't need some side to side action like an old Dre video )

You know I bet he does have bags on it and doesn't even realize it. They only change the ride height according to speed by dropping it down at or above 60-65 I think. Basically just to improve handling and gas mileage. My guess is if the system is already there, shouldn't be that bad of an install.

Re: Air-bag installer needed

I talked to the guy this morning and he said that yeah, come to think of it, it does sound like a compressor is running when he first starts the car? I dunno. Regardless he wants a price for a system, with installation. Leasin-it, what can you find for me?
