Woohoo! Air ride cab for the FG.....

[skippythedog]

Has anyone delved into this?

We spend all this time and money trying to create a bearable ride.....air seats, shocks, Timbren bump stops, high aspect ratio tires, $7000 parabolic suspensions, more jewelry for the wife etc.
Hell, I even had a custom laminated (several layers/densities) foam cushion built for the bench seat, for my dog.

The cab is hinged up front; Even just 2" inches of cushy goodness at the back would be utterly amazing. The fulcrum point up front would mean minimal effect on wiring etc. Of course the lock mechanism and air cleaner snorkel would have to be futzed with....

Am I leaving anything out?

Thoughts...?

Walgreen has these for $11 USD, they will raise the seat height though.

My brother has a 93 gmc w5 which I think is a nrr?

It has a coil spring cab and rides pretty good

The company that built my motorcycle rack did that on another FG. They had to adapt a system for another truck but were successful. I will have to ask them about this again.

We manage to stay pretty comfy with the air suspension seats, but they make a big difference.
