Airbag lift kit ISO

[young_gun17]

I want to put long travel airbags on my 93 extended cab. Saw a first gen on instagram with bags that has 12" travel. I want to have the same setup. Do i have to make my own setup or is there kits out there?

Most add on air bag kits use short travel bags. For a helper type setup you don't need that much travel.
If what you saw on instagram was a air ride rear suspension. There are no kits made for a 1st gen with tall bags. You have to make your own or graft one from another model truck under it.
My rear air ride come out from under a 2004 GM ambulance.

There are bags on all 4 corners. if you google "mopar darrell" you'll see a red 4 door first gen and that's what I'm talking about

I looked him up. No good pic's of his suspension I could find. Remember custom suspension and insurance do not go well together.



On mods keep close to a original as you can.

One thing I didn't mention. I do have air ride on the rear. Once you build the system for a certain ride height. Any air pressure you add to raise the vehicle above that height just makes the ride a lot rougher. If his truck is set for 40 PSI for normal ride height of lets say 6" of bag travel. If he adds air for 12" of bag length. The ride would be like a farm tractor with no suspension.

I found some better pic's of his suspension work. All I will say is I am not impressed with his design.
