Air Suspension

Here's another question that probably leans toward being stupid.

But do they make an air suspension that you don't have to change out a bunch of parts? Front and back?

Ridetech used to make a bolt in front kit, I think it was for G-Bodys tho, it was just a airbag setup that bolted inplace of our stock coils/shocks, back, i dont think theres any kits that just bolt in, most require cutting the frame/bed/everything to make it work, and i doubt any are performance based

I stand corrected..

Oh my, lol lol don't sound too bad, as long as you got a hoist and tools at your disposal.

when i did my air suspension(on budget) i didnt cut anything it was all bold on. the front bags just took the place of the springs and relocated the shock to the side of the control arm. then the back i just had helper air springs minus a leaf + lowering blocks. mine was an extreme and i could rest the front bumper on the ground but if i had to do it again i would get 2in drop spindles. wasnt nothing special but it worked and i liked the look and still had full function of the bed and could carry some pretty good weight still. on a side note idk if you guys get snow or real cold weather where you are but when we did my tank didnt like to stay full. i heard somewhere you can get that stuff the 18 wheelers use for their airbreaks so they dont freeze and put it in the lines but i never got to try it cuz i ended up tipping the truck. but if you do go with the air ride gona look good:thumbsupsmiley: wish ya luck

Yeah I seen those set ups you are talking about, and considering them, I'l have to do more research.

I know what you are talking about the air line antifreeze, it's basicly the same thing as heat only for airlines.
