Airbags on f150

[d3dreaper]

Currently I am working on a airbag setup for my orange f150. I will have a tut soon but so far I have done a bodydrop and built the airbags for it I just need to build the steering arm for it. Does anyone have any ideas for maybe a mini air compressor or any ideas at all?

um....wrong section buddy

[nw~hummer]

sounds cool, pics or its fake

[ling427ttvette]

First off, wrong section.

Second, this thread is absolutely worthless without pictures. I could come on here and say I'm working on an airbag system too, but something to this extremity really needs pictures for people to believe it for one, and two to talk about it and actually enjoy it.

[xmodzracer]

tell how or post pics or something. I heard stuff like this all the time on the xmodsrc forums...

[d3dreaper]

I do apologize for posting in the wrong section... im new to the forum and I get lost in here easily... anyways I will be posting pics of it tomorrow but I can tell you that I used the flex part of a bendystraw for the bags

Nothing at this scale would work as an onboard pump.. Unless you were to gut a pnuematic system from the technic legos.. But you'd have to use an outside tank. Valves would be a whole 'nother mess of beans..

intead of airbags you could use screw shaped peices and some tiny motors with lots of gears to acheive the same up and down concept

or a servo and wedges........

i had a plan for this but unfortunately i got locked out of the photo host......

I too was working on that, the servo drop and lift, but the failed. Spent nearly $30. on micro servos, the biggest waste of my money. I returned the servos after I couldnt figure out how to mount them correctly.

Welcome to the forum. Everybody posts in the wrong section when there new (well some people do). Yea, pictures would help alot.

If you guys pay attention to other forums, I have a project going on this.

If I can find time to sit down and fabricate it, it will work and still drive.

[kendallcschm]

awesome...

[snowboi1289]

Texan, thats kinda what mine would have looked like. But I wasnt doing it to a truck, I was doing it to a car chassis.

So d3dreaper, hows the pictures coming?

[texan_idiot25]

Being low is one thing, that's easy. The real trick is the suspension setup that truck has planned...

I seen a youtube video and the guy had an xmod with airbags or hydrolics on it.

[texan_idiot25]

Servos, but it was a simple setup that required a major body lift.
