    I think I've reached the end of my rope with the new style 8 bag,my back hurts just talking about it. I'm contemplating cutting and pasting either a Flex Air (AG380) or a Low Air leaf on. I would appreciate comments on both . I haul bulk so weight is always an issue, and know that the Flex is the lightest of the 2. TIA

    My last KW W900L Studio 280" Wheelbase had the AG200 and it was junk. KW did lots of work on it during warranty but it still rode like a chuck wagon.

    Heard asfter I sold it they came out with a RETRO KIT , bigger airlines and different valve .

    take a look at a volvo suspension, late 90's early 2000. can be had cheap, rides really well and a hell of a lot less moving parts.

    id suggest the flex air personally. we have 2 petes, 1 with low air and 1 w flex air. we haul pneumatic tanks usually around 95000 gross. both have held up very well but i think the flex air rides way better. especially w our 1 spring ride trailer. makes that trailer feel like its air ride believe it or not. my next suspension will def be the flex air!
