Need help picking out air ride????

here is what i found so far

the first two pics (1st and 2nd) are from airliftcompany.com...the only problem i have is i have seen cars with the air-strut(2nd)pic in the rear, and it doesnt go that low, not even tucking the rear rim.


the second two pics (3rd and 4th) are pics i found from a members gallery on this website, he had them on his car with the rear tucking the rim completely...where can i purchase these (3rd and 4th pic) items at? and who makes them?

well the thing with airlift is its completely bolt on...
The ones with the slammed rears, your most likely going to have to weld on a lower bracket.
i believe hack shack's kit is like that.

yah i know all about the hack shack kit, im not about to weld on my car.

the first two pictures i posted are the easystreet setup that is complete bolt on 100%, front bag to be used with factory strut and rear air strut that just bolts on, no welding, but they dont tuck the rear rim at all.

the 3rd and forth picture, the 3rd pic is the same as the firts, its a front bag that uses the factory front strut, the 4th pic is a bag-strut that suppously bolts on with no welding. atleast that is what baggedblue02 says and jeffsta17. where can i purchase the 4th picture at? because i have seen jeffsta17 car, and it tucks rear rim complete, he said it was 100% bolt-on and that he bought it from easystreet. I didnt know easy street sold two different rear set ups?? is this correct? anybody got a model #?

HELP!

what do you mean by "null" out potholes ? I have cylinders in the front of mine and bags on the rear. With my setup it is kinda stiff but i think it feels better than my neuspeed lowering springs. If you want to run over pot holes all day it may be a problem to your equipment depending on how good of a job and product it is. I found a way to not modify my rear arm buy using a bag with a built in shock that has a lower hole where i can slip the bolt through just like the original spring/shock mounting.
