Air Suspension Near Houston

Does anyone know of a place to install/troubleshoot and air suspension near here? I just bought my 72 c-10 last week and it was already bagged which sounded good on paper. I paid less for the entire truck than the motor was purchased for so the suspension was just a plus for me. I would like to get someone to look it over and give me an evaluation of the system. I'm open to adding to it if need be.

Thanks in advance

Re: Air Suspension Near Houston

Houston, hell Texas for that matter, has a TON of custom shops that put out good work. Im sure there are several in Houston, but the first one to come to mind is Bill Carlton over at Ekstensive Metalworks. Their website is www.ekstensive.com. I have never had any work done by them, but they always have a big showing of bad ass bagged rides at every big show in the south.

Im sure there are more, but at the moment I'm drawing a blank. I will tell you this, when it comes to airride, Bill is "famous" for using a "Texas two link"....but lets not get into a discussion about wiether a 2 , 3, or 4 link rear suspension is best. Im sure they can setup whatever style you want and can afford.

Do not take it to ekstensive metal works!
If you want it fixed right the first time, and want it to work, take it to Chaotic Customs. Talk to Rocky, guy knows his stuff. He had to fix all of the stuff the other shops did on mine. They are both on the high side, but with Chaotic it will be right.
