Is this what they talk about when a truck is "bagged"?  AirBags

How is this better/worse than the drop spindles you're talking about?  Other than having a blow out of course.. :rolleyes: 

I have air bag suspension on my Lincoln and it's a very nice ride...


An air bag suspension that's set up properly would be great. But it takes a lot of engineering to get it set up properly and normally quite a few $$$$.

Hmmmm...not to sure I like the looks of all those dollar signs... I do however like the idea of the air bag suspension.  I would guess that it is adjustable too?  You can raise and lower it at will??

Dang, I need to do a LOT of research on this...

Granted this is not my area of expertise but I'm not having any luck finding a 2/3 kit with spindles.

I've been looking too and so far, all I'm finding are one's with springs.  You can buy the spindle seperately but I haven't found them in a kit.  Found something else called a flip kit...ever heard of that?

That is a kit for leaf spring rear suspension.  You have coils in the rear.


All of the 2/3's that I've found have keys for the front and coils for the rear.

When CAFCNA come back up send a PM to grnxnam.  He's the guru of lowering.  He can tell you what to get and where the best place to get it.


Is he a member here?  If so, send him a PM here and get him in on this conversation.
