I would def run gauges trust me this way you will know what height your riding at and also if you have a leak down the line you will know that you losing air and which bag it is... I dont have a bagged 300 but I have a bagged acura tl show car and I have the 3 gauge pod pillar.. Im running a single needle for my tank (dont really need it just did it for the hell of it) and 2 dual needle gauges one for the front (left n right) and one for the rear (left n right)... They now make digital gauges and have one that will go all four bags which is great prob expensive thou but worth it.. I also seen someone on the forum that put that gauge where the clock is and looked sick!!!!!!
anyone else that uses it on there current 300?( not other cars) Other car are totally different ball game when it comes to air ride. I need feedback from members that have it on the current 300 please.
i got the uas bags 22inch giovannas on 265 35 22 2006 chrysler 300. I have the accuair touchpad setup (ride height sensors) which is a set it and forget it setup. In essence gauges are a waste of money. and yeah on pancake its tucked big time
by the way i just did this a couple weeks ago. forgot to mention that i am running the Konis as well. Zack did the install. very happy.
question, why do you think gauges are a waste? Cause I have a lot of people telling me that you have to have them. But zack told me they are not really need for our cars. I listen to a pro vs those other guys.

air ride on my 300 and truck are basically the same. 4 bags, 8 valves....the gauges all read the same. if u have a leak u wont notice til its really low and possibly damage the fender. Trust me my gauges have come in handy a lot, especially when cruising down the road really LOW.

well you are going to spend $400-$600... for a aesthetic piece. for driving purposes it really doesnt do anything for you. I am assuming you have ride height sensors? if you get a good one you really have to trust that sensor. I KNOW ITS A STRANGE FEELING, especially if you are use to your factory ride height but the sensor does its job for you. Looks wise? yeah real cool, functionality? i dont think there is any use for it. Zack will be happy to sell you gauges, IM SURE he does run a successful business, but he is telling you that you dont need the gauges, that in itself says alot to me.

customaudioman, I never run my ride down real low and from what I read you dont want to either, I love the parked pancake look, I have 3 settings besides that 1) low cruising height (basically cant turn left-right, JUST STRIAGHT) 2) driving height, this took a little testing making sure i was clearing on bumps with my tires/fender 3) high but not all the way inflated to clear obstacles-get into inclide driveway.
Thats all you need man.

okay, I just wanted to be lower then stock with the 22". It seems other people(300 c forum z) think you have to have gauges or it the end of the world. lol. Gauges only seem to come in handy when you have a leak in the bag. Which Zack said usually never happens. I do not have an ride height sensors yet. I want to install the kit, then maybe add it later. Is there any other options to deal with leaks if it happened?
