Are you wanting to replace the springs with airbags or add a "helper" air bag for more load capacity?

At this point, we do not have a fit for the '63-'72 Chevy pickups with
rear coil springs. Our obsolete kit #60537 for stock ride height vehicles came with bags that measured 5.38"x 9.5", but the bags had inflation valves located on the radius corner of the bag, because there is no access hole in either the upper or lower spring seat for the air line and valve to pass through. The air line passed through the coils, but the radius corner mounted valve was prone to leaking. I have attached a chart showing the sizes available in the poly bags. Most rear bags are type "A". They all have inflation on the end, so getting one to work would require a spacer to allow the air line to exit the side. We also have a lower spacer (part #09113) that measures 2.04" tall by 4.72" diameter, with a 1" hole through the center, and a slot going to the side that MAY work, but with springs that short, you may not be able to find a bag that will work. Our shortest one in that diameter is 4.5" tall. The best thing I can tell you is to get inside dimensions at ride height, check the air spring listings, and see if there is a way to route the air line to the bag with your particular set up. Hope this helps. Mike Pung, Air Lift Co.

Call Air-flex at 909-927-0039, they have a firestone bag kit that works great on the 4" drop rear. I put them on my 71. They cost just under $200. (Couple of years ago)
