Re: 3-5 drop with a stock rear spring rate

I have 2” drop springs in the rear of mine. I went with air bags inside the coils. I found a bag that was 5.5”x 8.5” br AirLift that fit my springs.
I also have a new set of bags that are 5.5”x 6” that were too short for my springs. I can find the part numbers if you are interested.

I found the part number for the 5.5”x8.5”, it is 60924. The smaller bags I have are part number 60811.
I did have to drill a hole through the upper spring clamp and frame for the air line to the bag. It was easy.
