Bags or what to improve ride, slight lift.

Racer9 · 08-24-2008, 09:24 AM

I have the D-25's in front, and want to improve the ride in back. Stock leaves are just too harsh, and I rarely haul anything. I'm considering building my own air bag mounts, mostly because I'm too frugal (cheap) to pay $240+ for a kit. An inch or two lift is OK.
I've thought of eliminating a couple leaves, leaving the main and first one, and taking up the slack with the bags.
Open to suggestions.
