Re: Help....Replacing Rear spring with Air Bag
Quote:
Bags are about $80ea, fittings $5 each, plus the DOT airline. Brackets aren't needed to swap the bags in place. They will make the install easier but add to the overall height of the bag vs. not using brackets. AirRide or various other companies sell brackets to make bolting the bags in pretty straight forward. Call them & they should be able to get you what you need. The rest of the stuff is a Google search away (or use the board supporting vendors ![]()
