Springs = harsh or soft ride. Moderate stance great handling when setup that way and a good stance with about the same fab as bags
What type of air suspension set-ups have you built and/or tweaked? From my experience (steel coils & bag set-ups on my own personal 6X-74 trucks that were done similarly)....

Airbags or steel Springs = harsh or soft ride depending on how they're set-up.
Moderate stance & great handling can be achieved w/either spring type again depending on how they're set up.
Steel coils can be set up w/a good stance (ride height) with about the same fab as bags but won't have the same adjustability.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
