I need to apologize to progressive for my earlier post. It's not your air tail I was speaking of... I had a momentary lapse of thinking. For some reason I was thinking Air FX in my mind that was being discussed which I did mean.

My apologies to progressive as I did not mean their Air Tail suspension as I have no experience with it.

I've been using the airtail for 4 years now, about the same as my brother. I've had better experience with mine then he has. He is in need of a new compressor, which no longer engauges. And mine I could use a new set of shocks seeing as they are starting to leak.....causing me to constantly adjust my air psi. Thinkin of switching over to the 422's and drop in springs. Just getting tired of maintaining the airtail. And no I do not have any external leaks, I've checked multiple times at all different air psi's.

I have had my 422's on for a couple of months now and luv them also... still tweaking for the sweet spot but I have no complaints with these shocks.

I need to still get some bagless photo's as I have it lowered.

I'd like to lower mine in the rear for now, but I'd rather not spend the cash for the progressives just yet. Is it worth doing the bolts in the meantime, or am I better off just waiting a little longer?
