I'm considering putting a set of air bags in the rear of my '68 XR7 to allow me the option of raising the rear height of the car while still maintaining the "stock ride and ride height" when desired and to be able to add a little air and raise the rear a little without significantly changing the ride. I have seen these kits available for many different cars and trucks but have not been able, so far, to locate a set to bolt on to the Cougar or a Mustang for that matter. They seem to be popular for light pickup trucks amd a number of imports and newer cars as well. They mount to the frame and to the center of the leaf springs and seem to be available with and without on-board compressors. They are similar to the units that some of the custom car builders use to lower cars to the ground, or "bounch the front end of the car like dribbling a basketball, only they eliminate all the original suspension components to do that...
Anyone done this, or know of anyone that has done this and might be able to help? I would rather not go the air-shock route, they stiffen up the ride and are notorious for leaks.
Appreciate any comments or help.
Thanks
