air suspention question

[jmattsen]

i assume everyone with airbag suspention did not drop $6-9k on a kit like this

to replace the leafsprings with struts.

can you build the components yourself with a bit of welding and fabricating or does everyone here just have way deeper pockets than i do?

I bought three from Airbagit.com for $642 each and had almost everything I needed.
Had to buy a few fittings and miscellaneous stuff.

Same as Old Iron, airbagit.com. Everything I needed for $1500, bags, tubing and fittings, valve body, switches, gauges, pump and tank.
Had to modify some of the parts for my setup but no big deal [
The big buck ones are most likely installed with lots of labor [S

$9,000? That's what I use to set fire to my $100,000 dollar bills so I can light my cigars. [ddd

The front probably won't need modification. If you have a welder and time, you can do the rear.
