Got the 5 ton all bobbed and runs great. All air ride now on the rear. torque bars and leveling valve runs SO much better now.
A lot less weight. Took 51" off the frame and out of the center of the bed.
Got the truck complete and test drive was a success. Air ride worked great.
I seam to have a miss and it don't start as quickly as it did before. I did have to remove the fuel tank to do some of the work. Any ideas what's causing the rough start and the miss? I'm thinking maybe an injector has...
My axle is on top of the spring. I just used the main leaf, not the extra wrap around helper. The bottom shock mount is sandwiched between the spring and the top u-bolt plate. My U-bolts go from the bottom up. The spring needs to be close to parallel with the frame. If you put the spring under...
Mine is all done except for the torque bar. Need a idea for torque bare to go from the frame to the axle, to hold axle side to side. Send me a email to binnalljr@yahoo if you want and I can send pictures of mine. Took me 2 weeks of evenings and weekends by myself.
good morning.
when your air suspension was completed. did you end up with the axle on top of the springs or under the springs?

what suspension did you use. I got a complete set up from a guy for 500 + air bags. How did you determine where to place the axle.
Im thinking of leaving the front axle in the same place and just drop the back one
Im starting to bob my 813a1 truck next week.
All the parts for the project right around $1500 shipped.
Im wondering any one ever consider air bags instead of springs.
Seams like it should be straight forward.
Also on a different note. My turn signals all quit. they go bright when put on but...
Im new here and just bought a 71 m813a1. wanting to bob it. I have all the skills to do the job was wanting to know the specifics. What springs do I use in the rear. Do I just remove the back axle and leave the middle where it is? Shorten up the frame. Im wanting it to be shorter. Any photo...
