Well i'm gunna go ahead and use my tax return to bag my box again.....I had it done about 2 years ago and i blew out one of my easystreet rear sleeves while going down the highway and said the hell with it. Well i've worked up the nerve to do it again, so my question is what rear kit will get me lowest? I'm looking at the FBI brackets w/ firestone bags, the universal air kit, and the new style easy street kit. I'm just wondering which kit will get me lowest? I've search for a while and can't quite find this information. I also need to know where i can find shorter shocks for the rear? Any help is appreciated. :bow:

I am using the easy street front and rear bag setups. I am controlling them with an Air Ride Level Pro system. I like it all in all. I find the ride a bit harsh at moderate to low speeds (especially on washboardy pavement), it also is a bit abrupt at absorbing larger pavement joints etc (2 inch+ humps). It goes pretty low. In the rear my wheel oepning basicallly bottom on the tires so it goes about as low as you can without major body mods. The front could go a little lower but not much (it is limited by the strut travel, but you would start hitting things pretty soon if you went lower). I modified my fender bumper area a little, and cut away part of the splash shields in order to go this low:

Keep in mind my kit is 1.5 or so inches taller than stock so a stock xB will show 1.5"+ more gap to the ground.

I would also recommend the Easystreet rear kit of all the kits currently available for the xB.

The pictures are wrong in the adds. Many places have the convoluted bags but show the pics as sleeves. I got mine from Suicidedoors.com. FIX THE MONZA:)

Check with Suicide Doors as Ted mentioned. Another good source is the Gauge Store. Both are great to deal with. I would choose the one who could give you the best price.
