Just wondering if any one has tried out air ride suspension?
The more I see it the more I like the looks. It looks like a straight forward install.

There was a guy over at Team Chevelle that installed this on his Chevelle or El Camino. He posted some pictures of it installed on the bar chassis, but I forget more than that.

They are pretty expensive.

I saw a rendering by Kris Horton on this site with a real low Elky and I was hooked. I figure about $1,500 - $2,000 by the time the brown truck unloads in the driveway....but what a rush just dropping it on the ground beside the import with the coffee can exhaust!..good antitheft device too if you have a cutoff switch hidden somewhere.

I saw a kit for 5th generation El Caminos for $795 base package. Unfortunately, I lost the link. They sell some of their kits on e-bay periodicly. The only problem I see with it, is maybe having to either not deflate them all the way in the back, or cutting out a hole for the differential.
