Re: Air, Static or coilovers?

I went back and forth on air vs. coilovers. After riding in Ridetech's old shop truck Gumby on air I was sold. It handled like a Corvette and rode like a Cadillac.

I'm still in the mockup stage but I went with a Porterbuilt Level 1 front, rack and pinion, c-notch rear, frame stiffener, bags, Ridetech HQ shocks, front and rear sway bars and Ridetech's air management w/level sensors. I'm highly anticipating it to ride and handle well. Not the most cost-effective setup though.

I've also driven Ridetech's shop truck with their new Street Grip kit and was amazed at how well it rode and drove. I've been tempted to put it on my '72 but really need to focus on the '67.

Re: Air, Static or coilovers?

Slowcpe, thanks for the feedback, this is what I was looking for. I was afraid of too much body roll with air but figured the ride would be nice. I basically want to keep one position for a good look and ride, I don't need to be going up and down or anything crazy. I want to drive this truck a lot so these 2 things are the most important to me.
