I know that some folk's here have bagged xb's. Is yours a daily driver? Do have any
complaints or regrets? Hows the reliability? I drive about 80 miles a day to and from
work, so the answers you provide will help me make a very expensive decision.
Thank You

 

I drove mine daily for almost a year and a half with no problems after a few early kinks were ironed out.....Its not so daily driven anymore.

 

Ray.... just bag it man....lol don't be skeered.... on another note Dan (sprslg) used to drive his daily when it was bagged, maybe you can talk to him about it

 

Anyone else out there?

 

mine has been bagged for sometime now and I have no regrets about it. When you bag it should take you about a week to work out the bugs. I have over 15,000 miles on the air ride set up and it has gave me little problems. The few I have had was due to my mistakes I made when I installed everything.

 

You can be bagged and drive daily with no problem. Just dont abuse it and have it installed correctly. And check it every so often.

Also, I live in Cali, so the weather is not too bad.

 

Thank's guy's for your insite.

 

My 04 xB has 52k on it. Its been bagged since 2k miles.

Hows that for daily?

Its been great. Previous owner loved it, and I love it.
Only reason I'm selling it is to move on.
BTW- wasnt a kit. custom 1 off install.

 

Ray....So....you gonna bag your xB or what??

 

We are baggin the xB in a month or so after I finish gathering the parts, and it will be a daily for my wife. I have a bagged 01 Ranger that I drive daily with NO problems at all. My valves are all mounted in my cab to help prevent freezing and road grime getting into them. I have airline exhausting the dump valves out the bottom of my cab to reduce noise.

 

Are all you guy's running a pieced(custom) setup or a "kit" that is currently on the market?

Your a curious little f**k aren't ya.

 

I got a custom setup. Check my sig..it has the rundown of the parts. Itll give you a good idea. I probably have pictures of stuff too..

 

Well seems like a simple question......don't think.....just bag it....hahaha Ray you need to Drop it like its Hot.....

 

hey i bagged my box about a year ago and i drive about 80miles round trip everyday to work also and have no complaints about it except for when i had moisture in my tank and my valves froze one morning but i fixed that problem real quick. i recomend bagging it. it rides better than stock in my opinion. so just bag it.

 

Ive been bagged for 2 yrs, with 50K miles bagged, the biggest thing I can stress is DO YOUR MAINTENCE otherwise things will break, run a water trap, drain the tanks every so often, (get the moisture out) check your airlines, and inspect your bags once a week, for Dry Rot, Cuts, Road rash and or Rubbing, I've replaced one bag due to an object flying up and puncturing the bag, (Freak accident)

 

is the ride harsh with air suspension? bouncy? i've never riden in a car equipped with these but i'm semi-interested. i wouldn't consider it without ever having a ride in someone's car to see first hand.. but how's it feel? also hows the handling?

 

well the Great thing about being bagged is that, Think about it like this.... you have an infinite adjustable spring rate, you want a harsh still ride, Put more air in the bags, you want a super soft ride (cadillac) Let some air out, as a consequence you Ride lower, My Ride height is 1" from draging crossmember and all 4 wheels tucked. If I had gauges I would say about 20 psi in the back 35 in the front.

 

^^^thats my biggest problem, with a little air, the thing floats, but i gotta blow it up to turn the front wheels, and it gets harsh.
but not as harsh as my right front tire from touching the fender when i didnt go up all the way to turn into my neighborhood.

 

^^^^ I hear ya thats the Price we pay to tuck.

 

daily driveability of bags is 25% components 25% maintenance and 50% install. Ive had my ram bagged daily for 3 years and its got a ton of miles on it. As soon as i get my xb in ill pick up some wheels but i bet its either bagged or on juice at some point in time.
