Air Suspension for FX35?!?!
I hope some of you air suspension experts can answer a bunch of my noob questions.
I am thinking about adding an air suspension to my FX35 which will be getting 20" wheels soon. This is 100% daily driver not really going for the VIP look I am after a few other things.
Will air give me a nice ride at maybe a 1/2" gap (nothing crazy). What I mean by nice is with the lower than stock height will I still retain the original ride comfort or maybe even get a more comfortable ride? Are air suspension usually better or worst than stock suspension in ride comfort? What about handling?
I will be towing my spec miata and trailer (3500 lbs) to the track about once a month. This is one of the main reason I am thinking of going air. It seems a lot of heavy duty trucks run air suspensions.
Will an air suspension be more heavy duty and be able to handle more tongue weight than a stock suspension or standard aftermarket suspension?
Lastly any kits you would recommend that bolt on. Only one I know of, for the FX is the air runner.
Big thanks!!

Air Runner or UAS are the way to go. The ride will be as good or better and will be great for towing since you'll be able to compensate for the added tongue weight. My car is a DD as well and have loved my air setup.

Does anyone know what exactly is included in the air runner kit? Does it come with new struts/shocks or do I have to re-use mine or buy aftermarket or coilovers?
