air bags - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How hard is installing an air spring set up in a 67 chevy truck? It seems easy as the air bags replace the coils, but just wondering if anyone has tried it, and the pros and cons of installing this. This truck will never haul anything so dont have to worry about that.

If your truck already has coils/trailing arms in the rear, then our trucks are in the list of 'easier-to-do' trucks. The rear ones bolt right in place of the coils and the fronts just require a mounting plate. You can get as fancy as you like, but it is pretty straight-forward.

You might want to consider a longer track bar.....like the SuperTrac.
