Air suspension for a 95 3/4 ton Chevy van?
« on: November 04, 2006, 08:19:05 PM »
I've been considering adding an air suspension under the rear end of the Battlecruiser... It's mostly used for dragging the trailer, and since it's a Chevy, it rides a little low in the rear anyway... Any thoughts/suggestions?

While I've had very good results with Firestone air bags in industrial applications, why not just add a set of air shocks?  A set of Monroe's are about $150.  Similar result and $130 less expensive.
