    50 merc bags?

     



    Hi

    Having a ton of bottoming out on my 50 merc. Has original front end with dropped spindle/disc kit on it from fatman. Here in NY we have some rough roads. There is a good skid plate under it but i am afraid of damaging other parts let alone it scares the crap out of me when I hit a bump.

    So what are my options as I like the way it is from a stance standpoint. Airbag setup? Dump the spindles? I cannot continue to drive it as is. frame is too low to ground to drive. What can I do?

    Can provide pics as soon as daylight hits.

    thanks!
    Kevin

    You can get a bolt on air suspension for the 50 Merc. It will also improve the ride quality. If you have any questions about it let me know!

    air ride, that way you can still have the stance you like and lift it so you dont bottom out when you drive it.my 66 cadi is bagged and i love it not to hard to do i think.
