Air bags

[70sc]

Hey guys.I am still building on my 70 SC.Finally got the frame shortned and started the build up.I was wondering does anyone make air bag suspension for our trucks?All i can find is for the old chevys.I was wanting to look at some of the prices and fab work that was involved,before I go much further with my truck.Thanks guys

takes a ton of fab work to do the front. either going to have to use a new front clip, or just live with it being static dropped for a while until Marz releases to bolt in front suspension.

I know they have some knowledge in bumps as their shop truck is a '67 featured here:

Chassis Tech makes a front bracket set for our bumps. They also make a bolt on rear 4link. Never tried either of them out , but I do have there front bag brakets and tower on my 95 f150 and it is good quality and just needed a little tweaking to make fit perfect. Just be ready to cut all those factory rivets that hold the spring tower loose. Check them out at truckin.com

hey 70sc I can build you some brackets for air bags that will bolt on to your ibeams and to your spring pockets. I would only recommend this for parking at car shows and not much for driving cause of the camber issue. You can go with a mustang II setup but the only thing I don't like about the mustang arms is that their to short at 14" compared to the kit i'm building that will be at 18" this means more lift and smoother ride.

If you are wanting to bag the i beam set up you will need to install drop beams. That will help with some of the negative camber. That is the only bad thing about bagging an I beam set up. If you want to cruise around with your truck you will have a very stiff ride. the reason is you will have to inflate your bags to around 120+ psi to limit the tire wear caused by the low ride height. If you could mount bigger size bags like a 2800 or something like that it would be a little smoother ridding but you will have clearance issues possibly. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks for all the imput guys.I know see there are actually some options out there.It might be best just to lower it with the beams and be done.I have so much tied up in the motor and trans now,that I am running a lil short on cash.Lol.
