Re: airbags question

several makers produce these kits that are completely bolt on with no welding necessary

Re: airbags question

I'm no welder either, which is why I went with Porterbuilt's Stage 1 front and rear kits. Everything is bolt in. Need to remove a few rivets and drill some holes, but no welding is needed. There are other companies who offer similar set ups, but my experience with Porterbuilt is second to none. I ordered mine from Travis at Pro Performance. Below are links to the front and rear kits. Running mine with schrader valves but you could do a compressor and a tank if you want. I plan to upgrade mine when the funds are available. Travis has several air management options for you as well.

You can check out my build thread for some pictures of the kit installed. Good luck! - Matt
