The travel on that bag is only 7.5". So if you set your car up to layout when the bag is deflated, then your ride height should be about 3-3/4" off the ground. Some might not like it that low. Also your ride will only get 7.5" off the ground then, if your laid out
The sleeve bag displaces the air as it compreses, while a double convoluted bag compresses the air. This gives the rolling sleeve an advantage on ride quality in my opinion. The cons are travel limitations, and the fact that a sleeved bag will tear itself apart if not properly limited (by shocks or straps... just as fastbagged stated). We asre getting just under 8" of travel on our rear kits, and the ride quality is exceptional.
