That should take care of the major stuff. Just remember, when doing something like this, a hundred other little things will pop up. I would definetly go with drop spindles, otherwise you'll have that real nasty negative camber thing going on, and I think that looks like crap. I'm not sure, but they should make drop spindles for drum's, but why not just change over to disc's? For a couple hundred bucks over just dropped spindles, you could have a whole disc conversion kit with drop spindles from ECE or CPP. You will have to buy cups or plates for the front airbags, too. If your truck has a trailing arm suspension, that will take care of the big stuff. Of course, like I said, other stuff will come up. Don't hesitate to call Suicide Doors. They know their stuff and will help you out.

Without drop spindles you'll get camber like mine This is with a 3" Z and a 1.25" c/member section. 9" wheel laid out the outside of the tire doesn't even touch the gound. I do plan on adding drop spindles sounds like you have a hold on the biggest parts. Don't forget shocks/brackets and two or three hundred for all of the stuff you didn't think you'd need

I am not much of a fan of the air zenith comps. I have heard some really bad stories about them... VIAIR all the way imo

[Jayman931]

hmmm...i'll have to check them out...its funny though someone told me the same thing about Viair...now I need to do some more research...lol

Great build page Slmd!!

[Slmd92DIME]

I have never seen any threads like that about Viair. I can probably pull up some on air zenith if you want.

[Slmd92DIME]

Not trying to be a dick just giving you some heads up on it buddy.

[Jayman931]

I know you are not trying to be mean...but I am new to air bags and air bag kits. I don't know the difference between either one...just stating what I was told...But that was one person...i have heard many say Viair was good...so...not sure where that leaves me..lol...

this is the thread where it was mentioned...maybe he just had a bad experience with them..
