    I would like to see pics of the air ride setups on the back of cars. I am thinking about doing my 51 plymouth and would like to see some pics so I can get some ideas of how I want to do it. Thanks alot

    Here's some of mine. I'm embar***ed to show these after looking at Brickster's, though.

    Yes, my lowers are angled which is different than almost everyone else. I'm okay with that. This packaging will allow my exhaust to run over the axle without too much trouble.

    Layed out. The frame was dragging, so I couldn't push it out of the garage.

    My kids car is almost a swap for the coil springs. His bags will attach between the lower control arms and the body where the Coil spring used to go.

    Cool57, I don't have a good stock pic of just the rear. But it was simply parrallel leaf springs and shock absorbers. I didn't relocate the shock (not installed in the above pic), and I used the forward spring mount for the forward mount of the outside parrallel bars. You can check my album for a few more pics.

    I did my 46 plm. the cheap easy way. No notch, just split up the spring pack, and left the main leaf. Ran a cross member across the tallest part of the stock hump and put the bags right over the axle. Don't try this if you have a high torque/horse enging because you'll wrap the **** out of the axle. Comer with in a inch and a half of the ground.
