Airbag lowering recommendations

Ladies and Gents, I lowered my '02 F150 with a Belltech 4/6 static drop a couple years ago. I liked it at first, but it's not great on 2 herniated discs on Lousyanna roads. I want to upgrade to a lowered Airbag kit. Have any of you researched these and can you recommend one? Thanks in advance. Josh.

Call Ricky at QAR 855-618-6090. Tell him Kris from The Suspension Source sent you. I would do Slam Bags,Viair Compressors,AVS switchbox,2- 5 gallon tanks,1/2" airline,Parker or SMC Valves.

it depends on how low you want to go and how much you're willing to spend...a couple companies to look into is air ride technologies and kp components..i have the kp 6 link on my 01 and love it..

Both customer service and quality. If I wouldn't use it on my own truck I sure in the hell won't recommend it!

hey guys. made the order thursday. 4 link and cantilever kit coming from kp. air system from QAR. so far the only down side is i couldn't do a bolt on only system. some welding required. and "C Ray" from kp had the order complete only to call me the next day and spring shipping on me. i assumed it was included like QAR, but, after purchase, i have another 192 to come up with. not happy about that, but such is life. i'll keep you updated. thanks again for the help.

KP/Chris Alston Chassisworks is an awesome company. Clint hooked me up with a kit for my sonoma a few years ago. I loved it.

the Chassisworks gear came in Thursday. Quality Air Ride stuff should be here by tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for the advice.
