The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks ifs and air bags

my 63 gmc with a 72 front end with 21/2 drop spindles on air bags and an 86 posi rear rides like a gravel truck .the wife refuses to ride in it untill i fix it .in my hurry to get it on the road i went the easy way with what i thought was the best and now im looking at musatang2 bolt in .am i looking at the right product or can i make the air ride comfortable

Air bags in rear also?

Is it hitting the bump stops? Are shocks bottoming out?

Put some tape or paint or wire ties around things or a remote camera and find out how far the suspension is traveling over normal driving. If it gets into the stops or bottoms out, it is going to go from soft to jolting real fast...

Or if air bags are just too stiff and the suspension isn't moving at all, talk to air bag manufacture.

You can indeed make the air ride comfortable.

I checked out the link in your signature line and you have one beautiful truck!

Do you have any photo's of the suspension? And, as R-Bo asked, what are you running in the rear, is it also air bags or coils?

Give us some more information and I am sure we can help.

I'm running on all4 with 95#front and 35# rear. I still have a hard front end but need this pressure to keep it off bottom. I am going to try new shocks with a 50/50 ratio.
