Re: 91 burban Front air bags

Your going to need bags, upper plates, and lower cups. You will need fittings for your application, DOT air line, and some type of valve. Personally I would only run the front with a tank and compressor included.

Here is a basic set up from Ride Tech. Take a look in our Suspension Marketplace or Vendor Marketplace for some great deals on budget kits.

You don't have to run drop spindles but it will help just depends how low you want it and wheel size.

Re: 91 burban Front air bags

I was planning to drop the rear 5 to 6 inches with hangers and shackles or a flip kit. What you think?

Drop spindles will help with a wheel that size.

Re: 91 burban Front air bags

I'm thinking you will wish you bagged the rear, too. Cry once, do the whole truck.

Re: 91 burban Front air bags

The front is easy the rear is a little harder since no one makes a bolt in kit for it would have to welded in.

Re: 91 burban Front air bags

This will include everything for the front except the compressor kit. If you want an on board compressor kit they start basic at 350.00 which is a dual needle gauge (2) paddle switches, compressor, lines and fittings, if you want an on board tank electric valves etc. you're going to be around 500.00- 600.00
