Question for those who either have experience or knowledge of full air suspensions. I am also looking/toying with the idea of installing a complete air suspension kit and would like to know if this one would be a proper one:

for my truck. I want to maintain front stock height and maintain the rear height (which was dropped 2 inches with the Belltechs). My goal, should I decide to pull the trigger is to have the ability to have the truck do this:
http://www.airbagit.com/category-s/1881.htm (Look at the F350) as it would be alot easier for my mom to get in and out of the truck without pulling on the steering wheel (which can be a big no no)...Would I also need to upgrade the electrical system since mine is a gasser or will the stock alternator keep up with the compressor load? I do plan to get around to changing out the alternator with a 185 amp @ idle one and install a second battery soon but I havent got around to toying with my truck in a while. Thoughts/ideas...

oh yeah, budget for the project if I do pull the trigger would be $4500.00 and not a penny more...



Specs of my truck:
2006 Silverado Crew 2WD
Stock front height
Rear height lowered with Belltechs

Call 243-2718 and talk to Gary. Tell him I sent you. He has built a ton of bagged vehicles and rods and can steer you right on the good stuff for the best price.

I can't help on the suspension but since you mentioned it, how is your mom Mike?

What company is that?


OP: Check out KP Components for other options as well.

Oh, nice. When I had my 04 Sierra I was big into the air-bagged scene. My buddy actually designed a lot of the GM stuff for KP Components, he had a shop called Bag N Drag customs here in Oakdale.

Gary builds dome really sick one-off shit. The guy is really talented. Thought he might be able to help steer Mike away from any trouble spots.

Wont say too much at this point as I am very tired and will be dropping off the network here in about 3 minutes:
