Airbags

I was thinking of putting airbags on my 85 GMC truck, and I need some help and pics. I need to know where to get started. I know I need to C-Notch my frame,remove my front fender wells, and cut my bed. Is there any thing else I would need to cut or remove? Also, what airbag setup will be best to start off with? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Re: Airbags

the front is easy...bags and upper/lower mounts. the rear requires a little more thought...step notch, bags, mounts, and a 4-link of some kind....and most of the cutting is done on the frame and bed floor.

Re: Airbags

There is a LOT to cover on how to properly set up an air suspension system. I suggest you spend some time in our Suspension Forum. Some research there will allow you to ask educated questions regarding what system will best fit your needs.
