Air Management
Choose the valves and controls that raise, lower and level your suspension.
Shop Air Management KitsBuild the rear of your 1973–1987 Chevy C10 with a complete EKMW rear air suspension setup designed for 1/2-ton trucks. This kit is engineered to lay the truck down on up to 24-inch wheels when installed as intended.
The one-piece step notch slips over the frame and welds in place. Upper shock mounts are already welded to the notch crossbars. After the notch is installed, the frame is cut and boxed using the supplied filler pieces.
The 2-link bars install using the factory leaf-spring hangers and bolt to the rear axle with the supplied U-bolt kit. The bars come with the lower bag mounts and lower shock mounts already installed. The upper bag mounts are positioned over the 2-link bag mounts and welded to the frame.
The panhard-bar frame mount is already incorporated into the notch. Bolt the bar to the notch, weld the axle-side mount in place, and the rear suspension is ready for air bags.
This is a fabrication-style air suspension kit and requires welding, frame cutting and proper installation. Review your wheel/tire combination and final ride-height goals before installation.
