whats up fellas, well i am new to the truck scene, done the lowrider, the import tuner and now i am trying to build a mini truck. so first thing i want to do is of coarse air bags since i had hydro on my honda, and springs on my import tuner. now i want to run airbags, but i dont need it to do all the side to side and three wheel all i want to do is lay close to frame. not on the frame cause i know for safety sake, my honda used to lay frame and i broke a hose and couldnt move the car so close to fram is what i am shooting for. what my question is i see alot of set up but i want something simple and pretty cheap. i see 2,3,4 links but i am new so i really need someone to show me how all this works. and then there is talk about still using my leaf springs. that would be cool too but dont understand how it works, since i have block in there now its lowered so if i put bags on top of the axale how would that lower my truck. i know by taking some leafs out i would be lower which makes sense, but if i put the bags on the axle wouldnt that raise the truck higer a couple of inches even with all the air out. so can someone kinda help me here i know these are simple to a lot of you guys but hey i need to learn so help would be appreciated. oh and i have a 87 mazda b2000. diagram, how to, links etc would be cool to hell even videos.

sup man, you wanna lay frame cause close to frame looks tacky. just check everything and tuck it up under the frame so nothing rubs or scraps. anyway though, i dont know too much on the whole bag thing but a lot of people here to do and if you still cant find what your looking foor, look at other posts or go to minitruckinweb.com and then look under some of the tech articles. they should have something for ya

Welcome BLAS you can get all the parts you need from a few different sources.laying frame is really the only good way to get the full effect of owning your first minitruck,there is nothing quite like the sound of layin out at 10mph in front of 30 people to make a statement.
