Hey guys,
I'm really thinking about air bags on my 41' 3/4 ton. I know a guy that has everything but the bags that will sell to me for cheap. I just want to know what size bags I need up front and in the back. It will have a parallel 4 bar in back and Mustang ll up front with a small block. Thanks.

I'll look it up but I put what I called standard bags on my 62 with no problems. You can but them for about 45 buck each in most magazines

Can't find them. Try Air Ride or Air lift
they will have all the parts you need but you don't have to buy all their package Shop carefully for the best price.

Hello all,
I have a '63 C10 long bed step that I am considering putting bags on. I have never installed them before so I went to airbagit.com and am now completely confused... anyone with any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

When researching air bags for my truck I ended up deciding on bags from www.slamspecialties.com
They seemed like the most durable and well liked bags out there, and I needed ones with internal bump stops which they have and many others don't, or aren't standard.

Not to steal this post, but i have a 54/3100 with a pacer IFS and would like to improve the ride. i have lowered springs from eaton and then my mechanic cut them and now it rides to low and rides to hard for my taste. i have contacted Air Ride and say i have to do my own engineering, measuring and fitment, they don't have a dedicated app. any one out there know who to go to? i want just the bags that i can adjust without the compressor just a hose.

You're in the same boat I was, I just looked at the different bags available and found some that looked about right to fit, then made my own brackets.

There is a good comparison of other manufacturers bags on the slam specialties website, and or most all the manufacturers list the specs online or in a PDF you can download.

I know this thread is super old, but WE b OLD, did you end up putting bags on your pacer ifs? I've got the same problem only my 55 1st series with a pacer ifs and coils that were cut a bit too much and don't ride so great. Just curious if you've got any tips on where to start to convert it over to bags?
