I have a 2000 F150 with a Bell Tech 3/4 drop on it. I want to switch to the Airbar in the rear and Shockwaves in the front. I would like it to ride at the same height it is now. Will this achieve my goal? How much drop will the AirBar give me in the rear and how much travel? How much drop and travel will the Shockwaves give in the front? Does the Airbar use any of the stock suspension since I now have different hangers than stock? Also is there a QA1 application for the Airbar for my F150 and if so what part #.

Thanx
Mark

Ride height will be about a 4-6 drop, fully deflated is about a 7-10. I do have a set of QA1 shock that will work for the rear, its a $250 upgrade. The AirBar setup in the rear will give you about 6" of travel, the shockwaves will give you about 4" . If you look in the customer cars section there are a couple of F 150 with that setup on it.

Is that 4 to 6 inches in the front also? I already have a 3 inch drop in the front and really can' t go much further with the wheels and tires I have which are new so I' m not changing them. There' s only one F150 in the customer pictures and the picture isn' t very good. Is that pic with the airbags all the way down. does the airbar use the stock hangers? mine aren' t stock Down N Dirtiy Kustomz really wants to do this for me but I' m afraid my tires are going to hit. I' ve got 295/40-20s on 20x9 wheels. Are there any kind of bump stops in case of a leak and the bags deflate all the way?

The specs I gave you are all from stock ride height. The air bar does use the stock hanger, so you will need those. There is a bumpstop front and rear to keep from damaging the bag and the truck. If you give me your e-mail address I will send you a picture of the Super Crew that we did, its also on 20s.

One other question. Does the airbar for the F150 require that you cut the bed any?

No, you will not have to cut the bed.
