I'm contemplating gettin rid of rear torsion...I'd like to hear your guys opinions/input.
What eliminators your using, what shocks, pros/cons, ballpark cost to switch, any helpful info.

It's on a beeline cobra with 2x3 arms. Don't know the weight offhand
Thanks

so what else is need to run the air bags? other the bags and fabbing some mounts
from what I've read space is tight with 2x3s. will you gain that much space by switching to 3x3s?

2X3's will work with air bags depending on how your chassis is set up. You don't NEED anything else, two schrader valves and two bags. To many people make this sooooooo complicated, air bags are a set-it-and-forget-it. Find your desired ride height, record that air pressure and maintain it.
Link for bags http://www.airbagit.com/
The part # for the right bags is 3800

I will be making a new batch of torsion eliminators in the next couple of weeks
