Front ride control bags? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My dad wants his burb to ride better. I have found plenty of rear air helper kits. But I havent found any front ones. I know they exist. I've seen them, but I cant find them. Thanks, Bradley

Check AW Direct? I think that;s the name.They have a towing & recovery sales catalog and list bags for the front.I'm not sure they list your exact application.I had them on my '95 K3500 and that's where I got them.

Edit: I just checked and they do list a kit for 73+ K-series. www.awdirect.com

Thanks! That's where I had seen them too. I just have so many bookmarks! I have over 30 sections of bookmarks. each section ranging from 3 to 100+ bookmarks. Plus I have over 200 not in sections. Ugh! So little money, so much time!

EDIT: I cant find any "front" air bag kits on there...

EDIT2: I found a kit on a different website. It's an AirLift brand kit.

They have this Timbren set: http://www.awdirect.com/front-mount-...oster-and-acc/

I clicked on Truck Equipment,the Load Booster

Thanks, but that isnt an airbag. It's a semi stiff piece of rubber that helps on big bumps and loads. I need airbags, as you lift higher than the leafs and make the ride softer.

Ok,I didn't read the description.They do what a bag does,except lift.there are auxilary bag kits made for rear leaf.I've used Airlifts in coils before.I got them at the spring shop I deal with Airlift doesn't make a front leaf application.You'd have to adapt something,maybe with your own brackets.
