rear end needs help
I noticed the other day that my '71 chevy fleetside rear end was very bouncy. Need new shocks obviously. It has coil springs. Do i need new coil springs or is there some place i can find air suspension for the rear end. I use it to haul my camper and gear for camping. What can i do to beef up the rear end. Thanks.

Very easy to put airbags on the rear.They bolt in place of the coils.Not much more than springs if using manual fill.You need to know if You want to lower it or keep it stock.You can use schrader valves to fill the bags,or go with a compressor and electric valves so You can change the air pressure settings from the seat.

is there any modifications that will need to be made? or do they go right in? Where can i find a set and how much will they cost? How much for a compressor setup versus a manual fill type? And finally, will it ride nicely with a loaded camper? damn thats alot of questions. Thank you very much for the info.
