Default Air Suspensions

Can someone explain how these kits work and also recommend good ones. I was told the legends one is a good one. Ive decided to go with the heartland 200 kit and figured I should lower it, would this type of suspension make the ride more comfortable? Thanks

Sorry rope, meant for you, when you say hardtail, do you just mean the stock suspension?

Good deal, and is yours lowered? I guess I can just do that and if its miserable to me I can add a better suspension later. That s**t is pricey.

The Arnott system is about the lowest cost I've seen at about $1000. Still a little too high for me at the moment. All the others seem to start about $1500 or so and go up from there.

Look into Hi-Lo and Platinum bleed and feed systems. That's all I can say.
