Factory Suspension on Hotrods and Muscle Cars generally through 1957 all have the same suspension configuration. Mostly Coilsprings on the front, and leafsprings on the rear. 1958 to 1982 mostly have coils on all 4 corners. So one prices fits all. Specific brackets are available for most GM cars, while others use a Generic Bracket that must be modified to suit your vehicle. Even specific brackets must be modified to suit your needs. First determine your everyday ride-height which will be your personal setting. To go lower, the brackets must be shorter, but keep in mind, your factory Geometry will start to be stressed at anything over 3". This means you will have to have shorter control arms to compensate for balljoint angles and to be able to align. You cannot go a Lower Ride Height, but you can slam it at the drive-in. If you have factory Leafsprings, you must install a 4Link. PRICING: There are those of you that will be diehard and insist that the more you pay, the more you get, but I am here to dispell that idea, at least in Air Suspension. Our Competitor charges over twice the amount that we do, and we give you higher engineered product and always use the Largest Compressors, no toys like the Thomas or Viar that take forever to pmp up your airtank. So take your time, compare each component and I will show you the way as we go. Read: The Knowledge Base for more information

AIR SPRINGS/AIR BAGS The bags that come with the kit are the same specification as Ridetech's Air bags, but you can UPGRADE them to any of the bags at the right for $20 each. The most IMPORTANT thing you can do is MAKE ROOM for the largest diameter bag possible.The larger the bag, the less psi it takes to lift, so if you are engineering for a smooth ride, do not use a baby bag. De-Nominator-II's are 2" taller than Ridetechs bags. |

SPRING POCKET ELIMINATORS You use supplied bucket to trim spring pocket with a plasma cutter to allow you to slide it into place and weld. Your frame actually will be several times stronger than factory and you will not have to use any upper barrels, and you can adjust the height level before final welding. Buckets are mandatory on all big blocks, or anything that requires more than 120psi to lift. Also, by eliminating the upper barrels you can drop deeper than ever before. If you run #2500 bags on the front of a big block, it will rise very slow, if even at all. |

Like other successful companies, we started in our garage over 26 years ago. Ratical Tops was formed in 1987 and manufactured Convertible Tops for most every truck of the period. We still sell them today. We added suspension to our product line in 1992, and to better reflect our full line of products, we incorporated as AIM INDUSTRIES in 1992, which we still are know as today. In 1992, Chassis Tech was formed as we expanded our operations and purchased over $12,000,000 worth of CNC Machining equipment to build Spindles, Fabrication of raw metals. We purchased our building in 1997, which is 3 1/2 acres with over 100,000 square foot under roof. In 1994, AIM was the first company ever, to put all 4 wheels on air, which was featured at SEMA with our yellow Dodge Ram as the feature truck on SEMA advertising in 1995. Other companies saw what we were doing and followed suit. In 2002, we received a patent for engineering the first AirStrut to replace the original Mac Pherson strut.
