What's a good suspension?

What's a good suspension for a '68 chevy with 22s in the back and 20s in the front? I would like not too rough, but still good cornering. I was thinking airbags, but i'm not sure if I want to set everything up for that or not, maybe just the bags and leave them at a certain pressure and drop and lift manually whenever I have a compressor? Need some infor. Thanks

Re: What's a good suspension?

I am setting up my air ride soon.. I am running 20's front and 22's rear.. The thing with running 22's in the rear you are going to have to get it pretty low to look right atleast personally I think so.. I think really air bags might be your best bet. look in the suspension forum on the front page... there are tons of trucks with different set ups but most that run 22's have air ride.. actually dont know if I have seen one without..

well air bags is a no-brainer... or you could just weld your axel to the frame rails and let 'er buck. i'm sure it would corner better!

i am running 22s an 20s with no bags and love the ride!!!! It has been lowered six inches all the way around. I also kept the big tires which helped the ride.
