Wheel/tire width is going to effect steering feel far more than what suspension you are sitting on. I have only met one twin on air. He said it drove fine but he never ran his car slammed. Actually met him at the track.

My steering just feels really sloppy. I guess an alignment should fix most.of that

Can you post more info about your setup? We may be able to provide some constructive advice.

More than likely we will keep on trolling

You installed suspension without getting an alignment done?

also important in this case is to post at what ride heights you're running at.

Haha my bad. Stock wheels on the 3p air ride kit. In terms of psi my car is still tucked away in storage. However I'm on the softest dampening front and rear but I think my end links may not be fully torqued. Heard some small chunks during the test drive at the front wheels but I forgot to write down what I made my preset height is. I think the alignment is huge but also the end links. I just dont want to ride stiff as a board to get the feeling back.

Start at mid damping settings and get an alignment. Airlift dampers are fine and the car can drive well with them.

Learned that end links were loose, plus alignment done.

if the car can still move, i don't see why not. but seems ill-advised for road debris like termites, worms, or leaves.
