I currently own a '97 F-150, and i am looking to do a suspension lift on it, but i need to be able to lower the suspension when i park in my garage. Does anybody know of any stores/websites that are able to do this?

I dont think Air Bags are soemthing you wanna be riding on if you are using the lift to go chewin or the like do you know what I mean??


Get in touch with Toys For Trucks, and they should be able to advise you onto something...they are located in the SE down 52...thats right...In the Foothills Industrial Area

Yeah, most trail rigs are converting their factory air bags into coils. Just a few things less to worry about.

Once you put on a lift, you'll realize that your tires are too small. Pretty soon, you'll be running 35's and you're parking your truck on the streets from that point on. I haven't measured yet but I think my rig is close to 8ft tall now.

Best solution is to get a bigger garage.

Air bags are becoming more common for offroad use. Though as stated above, more to deal with. Lots of fab/frame work depending on the application. $$$
