I think the main advantage of it is the fact that the compressor is on board with the shocks. Remember that when you change tranny oil you have to remove the sas system to get to the drain bolt. I have read several reviews by members who lvoe this system, but I opted for the Ho-Lo Rider system myself as it provides a lifetime warranty and they are located about 20 minutes from where I live. Check it out at http://www.hi-lorider.com/

THey also offer a discount for forum members. Call up Aaron at (818) 203-2853. He's a real stand up guy who stands behind his product. Ask anyone here.

In the past anytime I have altered the factory shock or spings on any vehicle I have owned it didnt handling better because usually I done other mods
(height, bigger tires ECT, ECT) ...Just check out carefully and then go....
