my summers plans have one goal in mind:

a full custom air suspension on the truck, built by yours truly
i'm gonna be running a triangulated 4 link in the rear, tubular control arms in the front,
twin viair 480 compressors filling two 5 gal tanks that feed 1/2" valves that fill slam specialties HE7 bags in the front and HE8's in the rear, giving me a solid 8 inches of lift and 400 psi limits
a dakota digital full digital air management system with remote control

when i'm done i'll be able to lay the frame on the ground and clear whatever speed bumps are in the way

 

sounds like a good plan. so I take it you did lose your liscence

 

I havea buddy whoput an air bag suspension on a 65 Impala. Rides like total crap, but it is cool. The only thing he had problems with is the plastic air lines messing up from the solenoid to the bags, but he went with some type of braided lines, and cured the problem.

 

sounds like fun, if i lost my license i would be spending my time/money on engine work forged internals/cams maybe some other go fast goodies

 

i did lose my liscence but i'm waiting for my appeal court date.

i'll use braided line for most of the system, they last much longer
It should ride better than a cadillac due to the size of the bags, the wider they are, the less air is needed to lift, therefore, softer 'bags. impalas have a lot less room than trucks so they need narrower bags
i know a few guys with 'bagged 'kotas and they say they ride real smooth on 7 inch bags

and i have no reason to make my truck faster, thats why she is on lockdown in the first place

Lo and slo is the way for me.

 

well good luck with the bags, get some pics up when ur done and maybe a tutorial??? in case anybody else wants to do it

 

tons of pics and probably an extensive writeup.

 

so what kind of monster tires do you plan to put on with it? lol.

 

Big meaty 25" tires
maybe when i do the body, im gonna tub the front fenders and put some 22" rims on

 

25's that it? i got 31's on my truck.
