Which air setup?
Ok, so my next mod is going to be air, probably sometime next month... However, I'm having a rather difficult time finding a kit that I like. The problem I'm encountering is that most of the kits I see out there only raise the front like 3 - 4", and the back is way up there... I've heard the EAI strutbags will raise it level, but haven't been able to verify. I'd like it to sit pretty level when fully raised, Eric M's white xB is the only one I can use for comparison. Problem with using that setup is that it wasn't a kit...
Basically I'm looking for tips on which kits are capable of actually lifting the front end a good amount, not just nudging it those 3". TIA to all that can help!

I am not sure which kit will be the best but I can tell you that unmodifed an AirLift Kit doesn't sit level all up or all down. The back can get sky high and sits slightly higher when its down. Swapping the rear shocks could fix this most likely. I don't know much about the EAI kit but it doesn't seem to have much more travel then the Airlift kit.
My airlift kit rides level most of the time because I drive with the front almost full and the rear with alot less air, seems like the more air that is in the back the rougher the ride. Usually just enough air to keep it from bottoming out. Also just a warning that the Airlift the kit is fast, it makes it pretty hard to adjust ride height, it I really need to slow it down some.
