Air bags on front
 

Hi guys.new member with question

I own a 1999 ford f250 4x4 diesel. A buddy and i made a winch bumper for the front like a ranch hand type, and added a Winch. I have Deaver springs literally a few miles down the road and I installed a set of their in house x code springs. Didn't notice much difference maybe a bit less front end wallow compared to the stock V codes but with 300 pounds of winch and bumper and heavy huge diesel engine I didn't expect to.

I purchased a set of front and rear air bag kits with a Viair twin compressor system. I was planning on doing air bags on all four corners but I'm rethinking of just doing rear air bags and a leveling kit for the front with a block on the rear. Then just do the rear bags and the air system. I mostly use the truck for long range driving and towing a boat or camper with the few times a year camping and hunting trips. As far as off road it's mostly dirt roads to get to a camp site. No rock crawling or beating the snot out if it.

Would you guys just install the air bags on all four corners and call it a day or buy a front leveling kit with adjustable track bar like the Zone off road kit and try to sell the front air bags to maybe someone who has a front snow plow. I'm more worried if I ever flex the suspension ( although I don't know how much a stock suspension flexes) ill rip the front air bags. I have a set if double convoluted bags that are longer than the Air Ride front bags.
I don't care a much for the lift a I do for the ability to stiffen the ride on the front due to the heavy front bumper.


Here is a pic of the front bumper. I had a buddy who has a water jet machine and he cut all the steel plate for me.

Thank you for any advice

Leveling kit is gonna raise the front a couple inches it's not gonna stiffen the ride any. :c:

I thought the zone kit had a longer top leaf that would add some stiffness to the front suspension. I thought the long leaf would be sort of a add a leaf along with the blocks
Thanks
