I am ordering the new arnott rear air compressor kit with air bags (complete kit # 0002 ).

Are these the same heavy duty air bags used on LSE and Marauders ?? .

Thanks

I'm not sure, I went with a Suncore kit as a few members have said the Arnott bags gave too firm off a ride.

That sounds ideal for a lowered setup.

Added firmness plus lower PSI air = good compromise?

I may pursue this when my bags are due.

I did not like the Arnott bags at all and removed them. They are definitely stiffer than stock and the dimensions are different. Obviously they fit, but IMHO the Marauder does not need a stiffer rear.

That said, I will include a shameless plug for the sale of a barely-used set of new OEM Marauder air springs I have sitting in my garage.

I installed the Suncore Air Spring Kit (40F-15-R-KIT) last night, does have a very slight softer ride than factory but feels good. The only issue I had with the kit was the metal discs on the bottom of the new air springs wouldn't stay locked onto the air spring once I had the bottom seated. I re-used the factory ones and they worked like a charm.

Getting to the solenoids was a PITA!
