If your asking about your 71 no one makes a kit it would be custom made.

Re: 4X4 rear air ride suspension

are you looking for an airbag assist or a full-on air susp?
firestone ride-rite makes a set of 5000lb airbags, that you can get on board air for (cheap & simple, on my K30.
for a full air susp., maybe check out Kelderman air control systems

Re: 4X4 rear air ride suspension

yeah, they dont have kits for older rigs, but they do have builders hardware, you would still be fabbing pieces.
i seen them on a hot rod interview couple years ago describing there kits, he also mentioned they do custom work (ie; buckets of money, deep pockets, etc). i'm not 100% sure, but i think it was kelderman who put an air susp. on Stacey David's project heavy metal, 5 ton international

Re: 4X4 rear air ride suspension

you can actually tune your susp. a bit with just airbags. when i'm empty i take most of the weight off the springs & it rides pretty decent for a 1 ton, as well as an extra 5000 lb cap. when i need it.
you can get airbags for the front of your 75 to,with onboard air, you can have some fun, & a much smoother ride
price is way more realistic too
