thinking of bagging my 86

thinking of bagging my 86 c10 to get a little lower nothing fancy but i'm debating on it because i want to keep my truck as original as possible but i was thinking if me modifying my suspension would defeat the purpose on keeping it original if i would go with air suspension i was thinking of going with air ride cool ride #ARF11800 in the kit includes bags and brackets nothing fancy and in the back go with air over leaf kit and with air everybody says the ride would be better i would appreciate anybody's pros and cons input thanks

i like the idea, im doing the same with mine, keeping it mostly original, stock interior with a mildy custom center console, and a set of wheels. id go with this kit instead though,
http://www.airbagit.com/product_p/fbs-lightning2.htm

me and one of the consultants have had numerous emails back and forth on what i wanted to do to mine, this will let the truck sit on axle, or put a small notch and go lower, comes with everything you need and at a great price. this is def what i'd look into

Re: thinking of bagging my 86

Check with others on this forum before using airbagit. I have never heard anything good about these guys. My one experience confirmed the previous rumors. ART has a great reputation, they may seem to be more expensive, but they do not lie, and they support a well engineered product.

Re: thinking of bagging my 86

Please do your research before buying from AIM/Chassis Tech/Airbagit.com or what ever fictitious name they are hiding behind this week. There's a reason their prices are so cheap.


Nothing wrong with bags and a stock look. I kinda like it...
