Ideas on air riding straight axle frontend

[Bagged n Chopped 40]

Im looking for ideas on putting air ride (air bags) on my 40 Dodges straight front axle. I do not want to run shockwaves or ideas like that. Also I want to keep the axle in the stock location without putting it out in front of the grill. Any ideas or Pics would be helpfull and appreciated. Thanks.

there are a few out there that have been done. you would replace the front spring with two link bars and two bags. do a search for it on the hamb and it will come up. there are a few kits people are selling if you want to take that route.

I was just skimming a RRR build thread yesterday that had a set up in on it - DonsRod maybe? It was his sons (?) but was torn apart for rebuilding. Maybe someone will clue in.

Cenpen speed shop has what you are looking for.I just got mine a few weeks ago and is a really nice setup. http://www.cenpen.com/traditionalair.htm

Yep, my Son Dan used a Cenpen setup and modified it to work suicide style. As ren92 said, it is a very nice piece. Here are some shots of how it looked installed.
