    Hey guys haven't been on here in forever much less ever posted. I'm Travis from South Carolina i use to be in the mini scene off and on a couple years ago. I actually have a 90 single cab i've built with the help of friends. It's been sitting since i've got married and had a kid about 3 years now. But I'm about to start back with it. First things first i am switching from hydraulics to air ride. Any info on specific things I need to buy to make the switch i'd appreciate the info. Here are some pics of the truck from years past.

    Ive only ridden in one bagged truck, had a bag on bar setup and it rode very smooth. Bag over axle requires more pressurenin the bags for lift making the ride stiffer.

    The closer you get it to the pivot point on bag on bar the less psi it requires for lift and the over all extension of bag becomes greater=more ride height

    I've been riding on air for many years now! Bags over axle will ride bad, in front or behiden the axle is the way to go & I recommend you use sleeve bags @ the rear & convoluted in front!
    I run Firestone 9000 @ the rear & Slam RE6's at the front.

    Rear bars are from Gravity-Werx, & shorten the upper bars!
