Re: how do i bag my truck with leafs?

remove leafs to lower and then use a sleeve style bags for adjustment.

give N2Trux a yell ... pretty sure he has this style set-up on his square body.

I've been looking for this exact same set up for quite some time. I hope we get a couple of ideas going. One thing is for sure it ain't going to be cheap

Re: how do i bag my truck with leafs?

The most economical way to do the rear of a leaf spring truck is an "Air Over Leaf" (AoL) system. I purchased mine from Ride Tech. Take a look at the rear of my 77 Cheyenne. You will need to consider that your frame is different, but the same theory applies.

Search AOL or "Air Over Leaf" systems here and you will get several hits.

Re: how do i bag my truck with leafs?

When I first got my truck it was a mono leaf with bags over the axle. I have pictures of the setup on my build thread on the first page.

Talking Re: how do i bag my truck with leafs?

I called this place a couple minutes ago and these guys got some very knowledgable people. Here is the link http://www.airbagit.com/ I didnt get much of a chance to navigate the web site but I called and I told them exactly what I wanted. Hope it works out for you dylan.

The quote they gave me was just about 800.00 or so. According to Tom the rep who helped me, he said I should get a drop of 5" in the front and 7" in the rear .This price includes bags, shocks, axle flip kit and all brackets not the compressor or controls.

Don't use airbagit.com... poor customer service and substandard parts, imo. google them and check out the reviews before you make a purchase!
