Alignment on air???
I've been looking all over but information of how an alignment would work on an air suspension, no bags over coils, just bags...
Basically what I'm trying to get at is, you put bags on your car and how does the alignment work if you either raise or lower the car from where the spot the alignment was done at, does this make any sense? Sorry if its' stoopid question, I've never been on air & would like to get on it in the futur. I've been reading about it but cant find the answers, thanks ahead of time.

Soon as you raise or lower your car even just 1", your alignment is going to be off. You can't change that. Just how suspensions work.
Most get their car aligned with their bags inflated to the height you actually drive your car at.

^I understand all of that, and that's exactly my question... how do u get back to the spot your car is aligned for if you raise or lower the car... You obviouly have to do your alignment at your drive height, but then what if you want to clear an obstacle & raise the car, or just park & slam it to the ground for show, how do u get back to the spot you're aligned for?

^^ if you have a digi system were you have preset's your set. if you have to raise it "manual" switchs ect.. look at your guage's, if you had it aligned at say 90psi front and 60psi rear, just air up to that. what ill b doing I know what psi I drive at so ill have it aligned at that psi. yes if you go full up itll be off same with full down but I know I rarely drive full up so its not that big of a problem just something you have to deal with.

Dakota digital is industry standard. Either that or you just need to understand your bag pressure and know it very well!
There's also kits that have adjusters that set it to preset heights. IE. Ride height, drive way height etc.
