Air Bags Question

I currently have leaf springs in the rear of my '72. How would I go about converting it so I can use bags? Thanks.

Re: Air Bags Question

i would do a ladder bar setup w/ a notch and bridge, with the bridge being the upper bag mount.

how low are you trying to go?

Re: Air Bags Question

I have a leaf spring '71 myself and have thought about the same question. I like the stock style trailing arm/crossmember setups that Early Classic Ent. or Classic Performance Products sell. Then use bags instead of springs. Have not done it, though.

For now, not slammed but lower than I am would be good.

I'll have to look into that setup, thanks for the info
