Helper bag kit

Hey guys, need a little help. I'm looking at putting in some help bags just so I have extra support when pulling our boat. I've seen a number of posts with guys doing the same.

I know they don't make a specific kit for the 72, but what kits are you using? I contacted Jegs and they said they don't have a kit.

If you have a specific part number, that would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS!

I don't know if you have trailing arms or leaf springs but I put the Air Lift Kit on mine with leaf springs http://www.autoanything.com/suspensi...0A2406009.aspx

Re: Helper bag kit

I have a set that I took out of a 67 leaf sprung burb.
Don't know who made them, but they don't look at old.

So, they are out there.

Did you look at the Air Lift 1000 in the link I posted above. It fits open coils and is only $90

Just swap bags in place for the rear coils. Leave them @ 30-40psi unloaded & add some air via a simple schrader valve set-up when you plan to load it down. You would be purchasing 2 bags regardless right?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

If you go this route you may want to consider adding a rear anti sway bar.
