Air Ride for the Rear?
Working on my 67 2WD, LWB with coils,wanting to know what is the easyist and cost efective way to bag the rear. I am lowering the front 2" with drop springs, and want to lower the rear (appox) 3". I still want to be able to tow a 20' travel trailer from time to time. Found these on eBay:
ARNOTT AIR SPRINGS 100 MM STRAIGHT SLEEVE AIR SPRINGS SERIES, PAIR 14" MAXIMUM EXTENSION! THESE ARE CUSTOM AIR SPRINGS DESIGNED FOR VARIOUS APPLICATIONS. PART# 10014VR. SPECIFICATIONS: Ride height 10" Max inflated diameter 5.7" Minimum compressed height 6" Full extension 14" 1/4" NPT air inlet 1500 lbs. @ 100 PSI. I don't know if the 1500 lb will be enough for towing? Any advice would be great. CO

Re: Air Ride for the Rear?
Trailing arm trucks should use a double-convoluted bag if it is being used in the factory coil-spring location.
Firestone 2500#/2600# & Slam RE 6's/7's can be used & they bolt-in w/minimal fab work.

Re: Air Ride for the Rear?
There's a good installation 'how-to' in the FAQ's section from board member 'MrShelly'. It contains excellent pics which explain much more that typed words.....
I've purchased bags from both AirRide & Suicide Doors.
