suspension ideas

Post by cool__bananas »

hi again, im starting to think about suspension now, im not sure if i want to run 12" coil overs or airbags or other, the truck is going to be sitting low but it would be nicer if i could lift it while driving to get over the big bumps, i was thinking some form of hydrolic or something, so any idea would be good thanks

i think airbags are the go, but real ones and big lines, from what i hear most the made in china ones we get here are crap

if brent ward is there, ask him about his setup too, and pedro may be able to shed some light on the matter too
