1955 chevy pickup questions

[elcaminowardy]

Hi, i'm building a 1955 series 2 chevy pickup. I'm using a Heidts Super ride2 front end, with a Ford 9" rear on a four link. I would like a neat install, so i plan on using the Airpod level pro. Any suggestions as to the rest of the system?
Thanks

SKW1000 front Shockwaves fit great in that front end. The 8000 series should work fine in the back as well.

Gotta be careful using an AirPod on a pickup tho, the ecu is inside the box and can not get wet. You may be better off using a traditional compressor system so you can mount the ecu inside the cab.

On this Shockwave we can even put the air fitting on the bottom, since they are mounted upside down. This way the air fitting will still come out on the top.

There's a ton of room between the step well of the cab and the outside of the frame. This is the ideal place to mount the air tank and even compressor(s). The valves can then be mounted behind the seat.

Thanks for the help guys. I wont be using the air pod. I am now thinking about using the level pro big red max (arc 4800L) am i right in thinking that the advantage of this system is quicker rise time? What i'm after is the best system i can fit without havin' to upgrade later on. Please excuse my ignorance, iv'e been into hotrods/muscle cars all my life, but i'm new to all this air ride stuff!!

If you want something quick, that would be fine. Just make sure that you have room for the tanks.
