Air Ride?

I'm sure someone here has done it? Who has pictures of their air ride setup? I'd like to see, as I'm planning on laying my '54 F100's running boards on the asphault this summer... I'm not confused about it, just curious. I already know how I want to go about the back. I'm not entirely sure how to measure how much I need to notch my frame though.

The one thing that does have me pondering though, is this. I have a Camaro front clip (70-81 style) on my truck, and haven't seen much of anythign out there an bagging Camaros. I found a kit from Air Ride Tech for over $500 for two bags, and some cups (not worth it, ever). I'd just like to know how tall to make the cups so I can make my own. Does anyone have any experience with Camaro clips? And suspension mods for them?

Thanks,
Seth

Very nice. That looks like more of a bridge notch. How did you determine how much to notch your frame?

For the rear, I will have a nice triangulated 4-link cantilever setup, to get nearly 20 inches lift. Will be very beefy, and will easily withstand any strain I can put onto it with my motor.

I will be using this kit:

I chose this because of the engineering that went into it. Jason makes them to your dimensions, and uses all high quality parts, and it's only $300. Very much worth the money if you ask me. It would nearly cost that to build it.

All the info you will need can be found here. It's a custom kit. You call with dimensions, they make it, and ship it out. You can get it with brackets to fit any size axle needed.
