Looking to go with the AirPod setup with the 5 gallon tank and LevelPro system, with a shockwave type setup up front and bags in the back for my 1997 Mercury Cougar. Question I have is, are there any "bolt-in" type setups that I could use for my application or would I have to fabricate mounts to make it work... by the way the back seems pretty straight forward, its the front that I am worried about.

We have never done a Cougar before. What type of suspension does it have in the front? Is it similar to the Mustangs? McPherson Strut, or does it have upper and lower control arms?

These are what I currently have up front. Thanks for your help.

After alot of research, I decided to go with a 93-98 Lincoln Mark 8 front air strut. Makes the fronts basically a bolt in set-up with very minor modifications, due to the similar body and suspension components.
