I am looking into putting airbags on my 85 s10 blazer. I bought it from someone that changed the motor and the disconnected and ripped out all of the 4x4 gear so I am just left with the a-arms and such which gives me a little issue on clearance for airbags. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the best way to do this. I have had someone tell me we could buy some tubular a arms and fab up a front end suspension setup to accept airbags. If yany of you have any other suggestions please share so I can try to figure this one out. Thanks

Well what you can start off with is taking and swapping the spindles out with 2wd spindles then you can fab a lower bag mount on the lower a-arm and get tubular uppers for clearence. With the upper bag mount you can weld that to the side of the frame with gussetts and then plumb your air ride and there you go. There is a little more work involved you just have to have someone that knows all about building minitrucks there with you to help. I could go on and on cause i have been building mini's for years now but see if you can find someone near you first. Any other questions pm me and I will gladly answer them!
