but.....this weekend i got the frame in the garage leveled, the front clip off the the 59 in the driveway, all the body bolts unbolted or torched, the Jaguar front suspension sold, and the Camaro front suspension cut off the frame in the driveway. using the $$ from the Jag to buy a 4 bar rear set up from Airbagit.com, and just ordered the DVD for doing the Camaro clip from "no-limit", and a little clean up on a few things.

Do some searches on airbagit.com also known as AIM. You might want to use another company.
And we really do need some pictures.
If you go over to the HAMB there is a good thread on the camaro clip.

like entourageguy just said, you might not want to go with AIM for your air suspension parts.
If you want to research that company a bit more, just look on some other forums with alot of air suspension vehicles.

Re: well i think i got a lot done this wknd!

wow, thanks guys! guess i'll do a little more investigating. i get the drift that it's not #1 on peoples lists! maybe thats why their $150.00 cheaper than almost everybody else....

thats a great shop... although i think they're changing their name to Quality Air Ride... so dont be surprised if your invoice shows that.
good choice though. Im using their control arms up front, and will probably have them build the custom bars for my rear... im also considering their watts link, but i dont know if i want a watts yet, or if im just going to stick to my usual panhard...

Re: well i think i got a lot done this wknd!

entourageguy; thanks for the heads up. but i've looked at alot of the pics you have on here of your STUNNING truck, i think i'll put some of my pieces TOGETHER before i embarrass myself with pics. be patient and give me a few weeks then i'll have something to show. rite now my garage and drive way look like your local "pick-a-part"! the no-limit DVD should be here by this weekend and i got a guy from work buying some of my junk this week then i'll purchase the parallel 4 bar from suicidedoors and get that stuff together. i HAVE to get a rollin chasis with at least the body settin on it before the end of summer! i have a cold PEPSI bet on this with the guys at work.
