Hey guys, so I was going to change out my rotted air bag suspension with coil springs but I decided to go with some more air bags, but I am questioning my choice now. It feels like there is a gap where between the air bag and car. If you know what I mean. If I hit a bump the car kind of hops then comes down hard. I don't know what its is. I would gratefully appreciate some helpful feedback.

Thanks Andrew.

Since the bag holds the axle away from the vehicle, it's flat-out impossible for there to be a gap. If something's making a bunch of noise, it could be loose shocks or end link/anti-sway bar problems.

Did you get the top of the bag engaged with the slotted holes? Does the bottom of the bag engage the domed perch on the axle? Got pics?
