Rear Air Bags and towing? GOOD? BAD? or UGLY? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mcmlxix · 02-01-2007, 11:33 PM

I was thinking of putting air bag suspension on just the back of my 71 SWB. I eventually want to throw a hitch on there to pull a car trailer... I want some height adjustabilitly in the rear.. Right now I have the ECE 4/6 drop with springs,adjustable panhard bar and shock relocator brackets...

Will bags support a 22ft enclosed trailer with a car?
Is it a problem with bags on the back on springs on the front?
I assume there are different bags rated for different loads?
Does a bigger heavier bag effect ride quality?

Any input would be appreciated...
Thanks
