    you can't have anyone put airride on your 62 swb for under a grand, you probably can't buy all the parts needed to put airride on your truck yourself for under a grand.

    just sayin

    depends on what your looking for. ebay can help a lot basic bags up front and relocate the shocks . not sure if you have leaves or coils but you can find air over leafs now on ebay for a good price. coils spring rear is fairly easy to bag without a four link can be pretty cheap. if you dont need to go up and down a lot just get the schrader valve adapter and tie it all together and fill it just like air shocks from a compressor. to add the valves, comp, and tanks follow ebay and watch for a deal

    If you can do all the work yourself I bet you can do a simple set up for around a grand. If you went with all 1/4" manual valves and lines you could buy the set up for less than a grand. If you have rear coils is a better deal for you. Bags over leafspring kinda suk. fbimini.com sells some affordable stuff

    man,you can't even buy everything you need to bag that truck properly for under a grand. Cheapest I've seen someone bag one is $1600,and it wasn't the greatest bag job.
