Spring vs: air suspension

[John Stiles]

Please sign your post so that we know who we are responding to. I
have a 1980 with air suspension and in my biased opinion it rides as
well as and better than most other manufacturers new models. The 1980
(as well as later FC's) utilize 2 bags per wheel whereas many other
manufacturers use 1. As far as pulling a toad, I have thousands of
miles pulling a 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and have also pulled a Jeep
Cherokee with no problem. Granted the 210 hp can be a bit slow in the
hills but the idea is relaxation and enjoying the ride/scenery and at
8-9 mpg I don't mind being a bit slow in the hills. Keep in mind also
that the the old FC's are rated to carry more than most other (ie
plastic) manufacturers are rated to tow.

Hope this helps,
