I am always watching any F1 topic. Since the install of the mustang II in my 50 F1 several years back the springs have collapsed to the point of not being able to drive the truck down out rutted out road. I have set aside money for bagging the front and adding relocated shock mounts. I also have a 53 chevy that is going to be put on an 85 s10 with bags hopefully this summer can get some work done on it also. I do know I could just replace the springs but this would serve to keep it low when I want and give a good ride and also allow me to go up the dirt road and drive ways without rubbing. The photo of the frame above was very helpful and sure was a clean install. May even find time to improve the rear with 4 bar or triangulated 4 link. Time and money and my son got married and moved out so some of the heavy work has to be postponed till he is around. Good hearing from you as well ED

I want to jump in here. I install and build trucks with air ride. That is my main business here. I have problems with firestone bags always have always will. We sell two other bags one is the slam specialty bags that are thre ply bags not the single ply. Man those ride the best in everybodys opinion. We also carry the Dominator bags. These bags accually have a better ride because of the nature of the bag height. I know on the mustang II setups that everybody runs for the street rods there is alot of miss conception on how they should be mounted. I my self have my own opinion also. I have countless trucks and chassis that utilize these bags and have a standard of only the best parts that we sell. Air ride is only as good as what you buy. We have our dually on air and still retains all towing capacity (its on the website) Plus a 34 2 door on air also mostly for the ride and the ability to drive it into the clients driveway (lol). I have come to love the ride quality of air, you just cant beat it if it is done right.

Our dually will take 110 pounds to lift to ride height then we can adjust for quality. We also have a one button setup from air ride tech that the ride height will never change due to weight or cornering. It adjusts for all angles of control for the driver. Nice setup. I would like to be able to help anyone or just give another opinion if neccessary. Also I would like to say that i am not plugging the website either. Just to let you know moderators.
