Can the good people of RR help me out please ? I'm in need of suspension ideas i've now got a old Ford COE and plan (need) to put it on air bags to put it on the floor when parked and for ride quality etc , been looking at 4 link set ups,leaf and bag and various ways to achieve this, Can we have a nice thread filled with suspension mods and slammed trucks ? maybe some good and bad ideas ? Thanks all here's a start  |

The actual suspension stuff is just ‘conventional’ stuff sized up. It’s not hard and truck sized bags are cheap.
The issue you will have is supplying enough air reliably. You need to be running a high pressure engine driven setup with a big tank and valves.
I’d say 1/2” valves, 8gal tank At 200psi minimum.
I can detail the specifics but you need a good background knowledge first so do some reading if you haven’t already.

I'm aware they are mainly pickups... but they are US pickups which are basically the same size  |
