Bags vs Gas Shocks

I'm tryin to decide between bags and gas-shocks. Any ideas? i was thinkin about makin it so i could take it to the track now and then, but might stick to just makin it a show truck. IDEAS IDEAS IDEAS!

It's not really an either/or decision. If you use bags you'll still need a good shock.

I am with XXL on this one ... air bags DON'T take the place of shocks ... they replace the coil springs. You will still need a set of shocks.

If you are refuring to AIR SHOCKS then the difference is the range of motion in your suspinsion will be greater with bags
