    There are, but give it more than 3 hours. You're asking for something very specific, and you've been here long enough to know narrow requests take time to answer.

    check out the thread "Doing Falcons right". It starts out with a member setting up air ride on a Falcon wagon.

    Lots of ways to go but I would stay away from shock waves due to the fact they are expensive and don't offer much travel.

    I am not an air ride expert but the early Mustangs were set up on the Falcon platform...might pay to look under air rides for Mustangs for interchange possibilities.

    I've looked into begging my falcon, there are a few different ways, and different price ranges. Airride or now known as ride tech offers a great quality set up wich is bolt it, but like the other guy said it doesn't offer much travel. I don't think it's worth the money, not to me anyway.

    I think the best way to do it, wich also is some money, is converting to an aftermarket mustang 2 front crossmember and suspension. Most kits offer the option for air bags mounted up. If you can shell out the $2000 for the front clip you can fab up your oun cup and mounting brackets for the bags on the stock arms, wich you could piece together pretty cheap. As for the rear I would do a triangulated four link set up. There are a couple of ways to mount the bags, and this requires welding and grinding.

    Like anything, if you have the money, you can buy the parts that make it very easy yo install. If you don't, like me, you need to piece it together and take the time to fab up the parts you need to get the job done. Sometimes it's more rewarding to do it yourself.

    That's my two cents, hope it helps
