possible lame air ride question

[133]

hey, i just wanted to know if it's necessary to run an IFS when using air ride or can i still use the stock suspsension? thanks for your input.

[abe lugo]

Yes that is a lame question!!!
ok, yeah you can use your stock suspension, but you might as well start upgrading since your already down there getting dirty, right?

Air bags will work on a solid axel. Ride is better with IFS.

thanks. well, i had air ride on my Ranger so this old stuff is new to me. as for IFS kits, who makes some good ones? i hear kugels are really good but that's way out of my price range.

IFS setups are a little too "Street Rod" for the HAMB crowd, so you won't likely get much of a response otherwise.

Depending upon what type of vehicle you've got, you might want to check out the offerings from some of the following.

Brandon, check with Happy Hoppy he just got his 54 chevy bagged with the stock set up.

also check this site, http://chassisengineeringinc.com/chevy/1949-1954chev.htm

they have a cool bolt on set up with adjustable ride height.

as far as being to "street rod" for us. whats wrong with haveing a modern set up? if you drive your car everyday might as well enjoy the ride.
