93Cutty Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hi guys, I am thinking about rebuilding soon with some heavier things and I was wondering if there was an air shock (for lack of better word) I could/should use to help my suspension out? I'd love to go full on bags/cans (whatever I'd need) but that's $$$. Let me know what you all think. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*1LOWSUV* Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 What type of suspension do you have on the rear now? You can buy an "Air-Bag" shock that may just bolt-on and it'll give you about 6 inches of lift. Nothing fancy but it'll keep that rear from draggin' Quote [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93Cutty Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I don't remember what it is called but the strut is right by the tire and bolts up onto the well/tower thing and then the springs are separate and are on the axle. I'd *love* to do full air ride but that's teh money I reckon.. The adapters/plates or whatever I think are what's a lot for my front.

rusty959 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Yea, you can always put in some helper bags. What vehicle is it for?

wysiwyg Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 yea, your thinking of air shocks. You just fill those up once and away you go. would keep your ass off the ground for sure. All the ones i remember had a nipple on it so you could just fill it at a gas station or using any air hose. Like a tire has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 yea i got air shocks on my mud car :^. they keep me off the ground and bouncin through some mud holes so i dont get stuck. they have a compression connection on the side and u run the lines from both of them together to a schrader valve. usually ppl mount the valve on the rear bumper or under it.

93Cutty Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I wish I could just put air ride on da bish and call it a day. So much money though. I don't make a fraction of what I would like to be making to just afford it. Aka, it'd take like half a year to 'make that much money'. Unless I can get stuff REALLY cheap and piece it together.. It ain't happening . I don't think I'm gonna do the wall any more, but the air ride would still be neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
