AirBag Suspension
Did a search here, but not much info... I just wanna make sure what is involved and what to remove and disconnect & where.
Story is, I will be removing & upgrade to normal shockers on Suberman's Liberty to Outback struts. Already have struts, coils & hats ready to be installed off from another Liberty.. On airbag based liberty - what and where do i disconnect/disable the system? Should I remove the system ie. wires/compressor & hoses or best leave it alone?
Thanks

just remove everything.
the compressor and tank probably weigh 10kg. behind the passenger guard. get rid of it.
i removed all the solenoids and lines in the engine bay but never bothered with the rear. too much work.
you can get a blank panel from a non airbag liberty to plug the hole whre the control panel used to be.
