I used Air Ride Technologies' "Air-Over-Leaf" system... Worked just fine. There is some more info in my build thread (Post #90).

Is the purpose to gain more GVW or as part of a hybrid air-ride? Firestone and Air-Lift make a system for increased GVW. Anything listed for '73 should work. The main thing is the type of u-bolt,which can be converted.

I'm towing an 18' toy hauler. The rear of the truck sags just a bit, so I'm hoping to offset that with an airbag kit. I called a local 4 wheel drive shop and they recommended the '73 airlift kit (my truck has rear leafs so it should work).
