Dampening on Airlift Help the car not bottom out?
Hello guys I recently got my bags installed and I’m playing around with the ride height and I find that sometimes I rub on the freeway going 60+ mph on big dips and I was wondering if increasing the dampening would help with the car bottoming out less or does dampening not have any effect to how much the car bottoms out? I don’t know much about this stuff and I’d greatly appreciate any info, Thank you so much!

dampening depends entirely on what dampeners you're running.

Also worth noting, what rubs. Car underside against road? Wheel on arch lining (as it seems from dips mention)? In both cases i'm guessing that no matter what suspension, when driving on normal roads it shouldn't bottom out/rub anything, and if it does, you are driving with car overlowered to unwise levels. Leave drop for when parking. It's wrong to drive too if you have artificially limited suspension for it to work properly.
