R4Tech

Has anyone considered changing our their rear suspension for an R4Tech kit?

I know it's pricey, but the promo looks really good and I have to keep my back seat passengers and horses happy!

Promo on youtube: YouTube - R4Techsuspension's Channel

AND DON'T SWITCH OFF CAUSE THEY SHOW A CHEVY - THERE'S a KIT FOR OUR BELOVED FORDS!

Looks nice, but I didn't see how much it will cost.

If you tow alot go for it, complete bolt on sounds good, and looks to be built well.

$1800 retail!

For a little more I'd rather do this:
4LK REAR SINGLE WHEEL 3.5" AXLE 1999-2007 FORD PICKUP ONLY F250/F350/EXCURSION 100% Bolt-On Frame 4Link Note: Exhaust may have to be re-routed on some trucks

They make a full bolt-on front airbag suspension system as well.

Of course, I was Chuck Norris with a wrench - I'd just build my own!!!

Yes, the Airbagit system looks very well developed.

I wonder which system gives the plusher ride?

The R4tech design means the soft spring is taking some weight so the air bag can run with less pressure giving a softer ride I image.

The Airbagit system has NO springs meaning the bag has to completely support the vehicle - does that mean more air = harder suspension?
