This video is the Fifth part of our suspensions upgrade series, in the first video we removed the existing single leaf springs, in the second video we replace them with a set of Jones twin leaf heavy duty leaf springs, in the third we stripped out the original front torsion bar and dampers, in the forth we replace them with a 5 ton torsion bar and BilsteinB6 sports dampers in an attempt to improve the handling when cornering and to reduce how much we get blown around on windy days.
in this video we are adding air assist to the rear axle to smooth out the bumps in the road and give us the best handling possible
