New front suspension kit

Does anybody make either an airbag or coil spring front suspension conversion for our trucks. I just want a softer ride than the leafs and would rather spend the money on a 4 link kit rather that the RS kit.

New springs and Bilsteins would probably improve it quite a bit. I do know a guy in Wellington Nevada who could answer your questions. 775-835-3569.

AirBagIt.com - Air Suspension Kits, Mini-Truck Parts, Sport Compact Parts! Airride, Airsprings, Towing Kits, Lambo Vertical Doors, Airbags. has a full air suspension for OBS trucks. You can buy the front kit, rear kit, or everything. Pretty good price too.

Replaces all suspension with fully adjustable air bags and heavy duty links.

There are a few guys on different websites that have put 05-07 suspension under an OBS. The guy Pete referred to is the first one that did.

I would probably build it myself. I love linking my buggies but than there's added risk of death wobble, bump steer and so on, that's why I'm sticking to leafs for my tow rig

I like leaf springs personally... but if I could afford a trick air system like the airbagit.com system or a keldermann airride I would probably do it!
