Re: Need some tip's and pic's

You need to be a bit more specific in what you are trying to accomplish. From what I am reading you don't want to lower your truck, but you want air bags. You also want to replace the trailing arms.

Are you lookinhg for a better ride, improved handeling, or more load capacity? Do you plan to pull a trailer?

This would help us know what advice to offer.

Look into four link setups if you want to replace the original arms on the rear. Wait a min...why would you want to do that??? Why change it if you don't want to go lower???
