Airbags On My 1967 C10

Im thinking about putting airbags on my 67 and was wondering if anybody can give me some input about it. Im new to the airbag stuff so I dont really know much about it. I was really interested in doing something like a RideTech level 1 system. Looks pretty basic and it comes with everything I would need. Any input would be appreciated. Im trying not to break the bank. And do you guys run drop spindles with your airbag setup. Is a C notch a must with airbags?

I think that is entirely on how low you plan to go.

Re: Airbags On My 1967 C10

Im not looking to go super low. But I would like to drop the truck with a smooth ride. From what I understand a air ride truck will have better handling and just be a smoother ride all around. Is that true? Looking to have some 18's or 20's on it with out any rubbing isssues.

check out the suspension board even do a search this question has been asked several times, yes most run a drop spindle, and no a c notch is not necessary however, it provides a lot better clearance. I studied what i needed then studied some more looked at kits and what was in them then scoured Craigslist and found the majority of the parts i needed and and built my system at a decent price.
