benT,

Yes. The ability to adjusting the height is something to behold. I know
it is no easy task to convert the Vanagon to airbag to get the best of
both worlds.

vince you missed one contingent. there are those who want both. i have
the tallest factory height available in production in the form of a
synro 16 plus also have a gaggle of low and high 2wd's.

it would be great if someone would make an airbag kit so we can get the
best of both modes.

several folks played with the idea but have not seen any in commercial
production.
