ChampN252 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) can a vehicle with leaf springs use air ride? Found an article about it. It can be done, but only so much dropping/raising can be done.

white4d96 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Wrong thread. You do realize that you could buy or fabricate a setup to get rid of the leaves though right? Or I've heard of removing all but one or two leaves to act as locators then putting the bag in. Edited February 8, 2011 by white4d96 Quote Too many projects, too little time...

white4d96 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 For the leaf springs or the LED thing? The leaf spring thing I read in a HOT ROD article about air ride, I could dig it out if you would like. Quote Too many projects, too little time...

sully Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 use a 2 link, 3 link, or 4 link setup, it will remove the leaf springs all together.

mast240 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 if you want to keep the leafs you can just mono leaf it.... its pretty simple to do. just pull them off the vehicle, and they will usually pop right apart. it doesn't lower the vehicle, as much as it just lowers the amount of tension the springs put out... if you want to lower it on leafs, then you can just buy drop blocks, and mono or dual leaf it... if you do that, you can do an over the axle, or behind the axle set up... but like everyone has said, a multi link set up is def the best way to go(2,3, or 4 link)... it just depends on how much dough your willing to dish out and how much fabbing you want to do.
