Very nice. They're great little kits for hauling. Horrible for offroading lol. I sell a bunch of them at the shop.

 

... must have more details on this ...

Nope, there isnt any. They sell air bags to go inside your coils, but only on the older trucks.

No problem man...Hope that setup treats you well. Can you tell a difference at highway speeds and around turns? Should have stiffened the rear up quite nicely.

I've been considering a set for quite some time for my big move. Little pissed my friend nabbed those ones I found at the junkyard years ago....even more pissed he never replied to my texts about obtaining them when I found out he was selling his truck. Lol.

I've been thinking of the Firestone taper bag kit though. I plan to modify the lower mount so it "floats" on the spring...much like the full size kits. It'll also allow for axle droop because it won't be permanently connected to the spring...gravity and weight will do that for me.

Thanks for posting pics. I've found pics of these kits actually installed on our application is very very hard to come by.

Those look awesome man! I bet they would help me with firewood hauling!

 

Could this be used for shock replacement...?

 

I wouldnt think so, This is just like Craig said, a Helper. Sort of like an AAL

air bags do not equal shocks. How would that work?? lol.

If anything, air bag = spring. An adjustable spring. Btw, full air suspension systems have shocks. Gotta have something to smooth out kinetic energy.

I am putting these on a 98 ranger and can not get a good line to mount the upper mount to the frame i either get a nice flat area but have no clearance for the fittings or clearance for the fittings and no flat area to mount my foward bolt on the bottom is sitting in the indented area of the frame with abouth a 1/2 in gap any ideas or for those who put them in how did you do it..

finally got it i was able to shift the lower plate out some which allowed the air fitting to clear the bed seams. got them on and love them thanks though. i will take some pics tommorow afternoon and try and post them up
