Default Need source for rear suspension 1950 3100

Hey I like this new section, since I am putting a 1950 together. I have the front done w/bags and a-arms, but I need a rear suspension that will support air bags too???? I have looked at TCI's stuff and it is expensive, does anyone have any ideas so I can wrap the suspension???

I am looking for a cheaper 4 link kit, the weld on in summit seems like it would make more work to make it fit and the TCI one is just out of the budget. After more research I am still leaning toward the TCI 4bar w/bags, just have to save a few more pennies

Any reason you want a 4-link.. IMO they have a lot of bind and ride quality is compermised. Why not find a 60-72 truck instead and take the LCA's and cross member out and put that in the truck. It'll ride much smoother, have a good instant center and parts will be redily available..

Good idea, I never even thought of that!
