Air bags and towing guys here!

96 f150. 2wd. I want to lower the rear and put air bags in so I can just drop shackle the leafs and bag it.

1.Rear setup plans are stock soft 6 cyl 2wd leafs with shackles to drop it a little. AND bags since the way it is now It's too low in the back when I'm tugging the Stang. Needs to be safe.

2. Front setup I'm looking to do some DJM beams and new shocks all around.

3. Am I out of my mind for wanting to lower my long bed f150?

Problem is it just drives like total sheet. wanders all over. only thing I havent done is ball joints, which it needs, and I beam bushings.

its got 200K and its rust free and just painted.

Can I buy the air lift setup with a lowered truck? whats going to work best for towing

For our load support kits, these are designed around stock suspensions, so it's hard to say if a kit will work with aftermarket parts installed. You can always check our installation manuals to see photos which might help. But for lowered trucks, I'd check out our Performance side. You can find out more here or give us a call at 800-248-0892. And I've seen a lot of lowered longbed trucks, so you're not out of your mind.

I think I'd start with the basics before adding accessories. Don't forget an alignment.
