    You have the ag 380 and want the ag 400? And you’re trying to get a better ride?
    I’ve never had tha ag 380 but was under the impression that it’s the better riding of the two. But then I always heard the Pete Air-trac was a great on/off road suspension. I was wrong there too.

    AG380 is an entirely different animal compared the AG400. AG 380 is the equivalent of Pete’s flex-aire. People have been upgrading the AG200 to the AG400.

    Yeah you'd have to hack the rear frame off to do this. My buddy has an AG200 upgraded to the 400. I have a 380 and it rides great. You couldn't give me a truck with an 8 bag suspension. He was telling me how he was having a heck of a time just replacing the air bags on it A couple of years ago I dunno if it was because they were just frozen from rust or difficult to get at or what? On my truck they're quick and easy to swap out and there's only 4 of them.
