Air bag/s

[Soldier_GN]

Lookin for a good condition rear air bag/s. Need to stiffen up the rear and have read this is the way to go.

Why do you want to stiffen it up? You may just need some new springs which would cost about the same and last longer than bags will.

I dont think its the springs.... from what im reading our cars dip in the pass rear....and alot of guys run a bag on that side to keep iy level and a lil stiff.

On launch it will drop on the right rear, which is true. If you want to fix it then you need a better suspension. Put one of the HR bars on or something like it. Helwig also makes a decent substitute. The issue is the rear springs and frame flex when it gets traction.

One thing I'd really suggest it to measure the ride height. It's suppose to be 10.625" to 9.5" measured at the rockers behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels. It's it's below 9.5" the springs are worn out and need replacing. If the rear of the car is leaning to one side same issue. Also check the body bushings and I'd bet that they're dead by now.

As charlie said
plus A GOOD Bar needs to be attached to the rear end housing and FRAME.
NOT
the rear end housing and control arms.
you get the best bang for your money with a Hellwig.

@ Cahrlie1
I finally got to measure the heights and its sitting at 9.75 front & 11.25 in the rear. The rear just got some MT street radilas in a 255 60 15 put on the other day (with 5/16 spacers cause they rubbed on the frame) thats why ist so high in the rear. The car was sitting even before I threw the MT on so im guessing the springs are still good. Thanks again for the tip. Still looking for some airbags though....
