Help Air bagging 1950 Suburban
I need some help or ideas to air ride a 1950 Chevy Suburban.Any one ever do one?Im really having a hard time figureing out something out for the front.I want to keep as original as possible as in not cutting or c-notching the frame.I know i have to leave about 3 leaf spring to keep from swaying.Its also a close fit as you can see.

it may be hard with minimal modification, i would say keep the solid from axle, but go with a triangulated 3 or 4 link with the bags. The back could be done almost the same as the front. but i have never looked closely at a 50s suburban suspension ...

If you like the look or original parts, you might kinda be stuck. But if you'd consider switching to a newer style front crossmember provided all the measurements are close, it would still have the same look as original GM parts but now you can get some bags and brackets.
