Air Bagged

I have a '86 lwb that's lowered 5/6 and I want to air bag it and I need some advice. What is the cheapest, easiest way to bag it, and what parts would I need? I already have 3" drop spindles and I know I have to step notch the rear. I want to be able to raise and lower it for bumps and driveways, and eventually lay frame or rocker, which would require "Z"ing the frame?

Re: Air Bagged

If your on a budget start collecting parts as you can afford them. For the front you will need bags, mounting plates, and some type of valve.

The rear can be done with a Air Over Leaf (AOL), 2 link,or 4 link. Depending on how low you want to go it will require a C-notch or Step Notch.

Spend some time reading here and many of your questions will be answered in depth.
