    I want to lower my maverick and maybe put a air lift kit on it. Does anyone know if this is posible? If so where to get parts to do stuff like that? My maverick is a 76 250 c4 if that matters. Thanks any help would be cool.

    I have considered air ride for my Mav for some time. I think it would be very cool :cool: but you have to use top quality parts if you expect to drive it a lot.

    For leaf spring cars you can usually replace the springs with a control arm and mount a airbag from axle to frame. The front is a little more tricky with its shock in spring set-up. Some manufacturers offer a "cartridge" style airbag with the shock inside but I am not sure if they have something that will "bolt-in".

    Trunkin' magazine has about a dozen ads for all types of conversions. Just do your homework and let us know what you decide.

    I have been thinkin the Shockwave's could be used on the front? I too have been looking to do this on my 71.
