Check www.***************** for bags, brackets, and everything else you might need. Also, in the back, you don't need any brackets, just drill a couple extra holes and mount them in hte factory spring locations.

There are no such kits for these. There are several universal components but they will need to be modified. You need to figure what you want to acheve with an air setup first. Do you want to lay rockers or just an adjustable stance? After you know this, I can help you a bit.

There are SEVERAL companies that make kits for these trucks that don't require modifications.
Air Ride Tech Front - LINK Air Ride Tech Rear - LINK Air Lift Company Kit - LINK I suggested buying from ***************** because Jason sells all the pieces you need (and kits) for substantially less than the other "big" companies. For pictures of an air bag system on a 67-72 frame, check the pictures I posted in this thread. LINK

Does an air ride suspension give a better ride? What kind of drop can you expect and how high will it go up?
After I am done my Jimmy I would like to add air ride. |

air ride can be droped so the frame sits on the ground and can be lifted up to almost a stock height.. yea that rear is close to my old one but that looks like the kit you can buy i built the on on my s-10 from scratch.. with a plan cali cover and vette lights i baught at the chevy dealer..i even added the 5th led brake light on my old truck.. you can tell its my work by looking closely at the lisence plate.. its not square.. oops i miss measured lol!!

Here's my 67' SWB with air ride!
Here's mine slammed down. Me and a buddy did everything. We made all the brackets and used firestone bags,put a minor two inch notch in the frame,put on two and a half inch dropped spindles,had an adjustable panhard bar made,ran the air lines,etc. pretty easy really.

That is one badass truck. Could I possibly get your paint codes for my suburban? I get scared everytime I pick my color because I'm afraid of the sprayout. Your truck is nice!
