Hi guys i am wanting to bag my ride but i dont know where to start I really want to buy a whole kit but air ride tech doesnt make one for my car.
1973 el camino ss 350
so i have found a set up on airbaggit.com but is that as good as ART product?
Also are the kits as easy to install as everyone says...if they suck to install i am not as much of a gear head as i want to be...
does any body in south carolina know where you can get them installed...
sorry to seem so stupid....but i just need so help...ha ha
Thanx,
camden

The front end of that car is the same as the 70-81 Camaro and rear is the same as the 64-72 Chevelle. So you could either use the Shockwave or CoolRide up front and the CoolRide on the rear.

I can' t seem to see where to start a new dicussion but this is a good place for me anyway. Have a 37 Ford with airride that I am building. Airride was on when I got the car. How many pounds of pressure can these things hold? I am a little concerned that they don' t go high enough for wheel clearance. Any thoughts?
Thanks

It will take serveral hundred psi to burst and air spring. Common driving height pressures will vary from 70-110psi depending on the vehicle weight and type of air spring used. But what' s more important than air pressure is air spring height. Each air spring has a specific ride height dimension. What ever air pressure it takes to achieve this ride height is the air pressure is should be driven at.

Thanks Darren. Since this was installed when I got the car, is there a way to determine that ride height?

They look like the 6957 and the 7076. I see there are others that look like those with taller demensions. Are these things stamped wi there number on them? If so, where?
Thanks

Just measure the extened height on the F7076 style. Should be either 9 or 13. On the double convoluted give me the diameter.
