Does anyone have or seen this air ride setup? It seems like a cheaper direct bolt on kit out there. I did like the air tamer system before they stop selling them.

have you looked at www.airbagit.com yet? they have a 4 link kit it seems pretty good. I called them and they have never had a problem with there kits. I might give one a try.
been think about building a beefier version for my red truck.
plan on using a 4 link with 1 solid and other 3 adjustable to i can nail pinion and thrust angles
i like the trailer setup but they have no axle capacity ratings right now

Yeah I have seen the kits for air bag it. I looking for something that stays around stock height. Here is another kit.
The air bag it kit rides at stock height and can go 4" lower or 4" heigher according to the person I talked to at air bag it. Has anyone ever tried one of there kits?
I've considered building something similar for a 3/4 ton that I'd like to lower, run on the track, and still pull a sizeable trailer while being lowered.
Was thinking relocated shocks converted to coilovers that would be right for the track, and run the bags at zero, then be able to air up to haul the trailer and to street drive. If the geometry is setup right, it could work quite well.

i called them today about this.. they said its desgined for the C&C trucks vs the standard P/U truck
C&C trucks run a 34" wide frame
p/u trucks run a 48" wide frame
Sub. I hate the way my truck rides since adding air bags and having 500lbs of weight in the bed isn't my idea of a fix.

I plan on making a 72" radius 3 link, use same bags Keldderman does,
Joint be these they can be had in 9/16, 5/8" and 3/4" bolts. I've used the 9/16 to make engine mounts on the 99 C3500 HD dmax swap..

Saw these at the PRI show back in 2014 in the Firestone booth when they came out. Really nice set up. well thought out and uses existing hangers and frame bolt holes for majority of mounts. Not too badly priced for a complete system that includes a compressor and decent sized tank....

Ask Manfred about his 4 link set up. Looked great when I see it. Look up longhornfabshop and give him a call. It was in diesel power mag a few years back
