Creative air spring setups

If you're looking for compressors, valve blocks, tanks, or RRC EAS units, I have a $#!Tload of them and I don't know what they're worth. E-mail me with an offer.

Kyle,

If it moves me any closer to getting a KVT bumper I would be happy to just flat-out give you the air springs and valve blocks off my D2. They never leaked even while the rig was in suspended animation.

FWIW - the main reason I kept the SLS was for all of the reasons you guys are talking about. Damn - to tow a trailer level or to jack up the rear on demand is priceless. Rear articulation may be limited by the air spring, but that ain't nothing a locker can't overcome.

Thanks Steve (SB and SC)!

my 95 lwb seems to leak a bit of air from some of the rear bags, but not too bad. Still, a spare at hand never hurts. So I may ping you guys.

...the air springs and valve blocks off my D2.

The D2 SLS system is totally different from RR EAS - no tank, one axle, integrated plastic solenoid valves... It does have a MUCH better compressor, though.

Man, I can remember the day when anyone that would have asked such a question would have gone down in flames.

My, how times have changed.

I think slade messed with the firestone bags in a rangie...

Hey,

Yeah, I had some Firestone air *springs* in my LWB for a while. Air *bags* are what you have in your steering wheel or dashboard (if so equipped).

I had some swanky adapters made to go from the stock frame to the Firestone springs. Still have them and am thinking of putting them in the CrewCab. I want to be able to dump the air out of the springs and park the truck in my third garage space.

Anyway, if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me or whatever.

Later,
