air bag question

besides a dropmember and 4 link setup, has anyone just replaced the old springs with air bags? if so I would like to see some pics and know how it rides.

The truck will ride better (smoother) vs. coils if set-up @ recommended heights/pressures because you're 'riding on air'. There are pro's & con's to all suspension types so it comes down to personal preference & needs.

I've done more then one coil suspension truck w/dropped spindles + shorter coils up front & used air bags in the rear because I got a better ride & adjustabilty vs. ultra short rear coils.

Sorry, no pics for you but there are multiple threads in the 6x-66 & 67-72 sections of lowered/bagged trucks. Find one you like the stance for & PM the owner....

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.
