Re: Airbags with a straight axle
A setup to the one that Chris showed the link to would work fine on the truck in question but but those photos clearly show the issue of the axle hitting what is above it if you want to lay frame with the truck.
The Camaro front suspension is a decent way to go on that truck but for 500$$ I'd want that subframe to be in ready to drive shape and not needing new bushings, ball joints or rotors. 500 seems to be at the upper end of the price scale for one out of a wrecking yard.
If you are good with the way the truck rides and steers now you could send your axle off to Sids to have it dropped and either add some lowering blocks or rework the rear suspension a bit to get a decent static drop that would have the truck right down in the weeds.
