Load leveller?

[Sylar]

Hey guys been looking all over for a load leveller type setup for the rear of my 73 Bronco. I tried pulling my trailer other day and the rear squats too far ><. I would like to find like the firestone airbag to put between the frame and rear springs. Is there any suck animal out there?

put a add-a-leaf in...ya didnt mention what suspension your running,shocks,tires,etc?

Oh, sorry about the specifics. I am running a 2" bodylift, with stock suspension. I have an uncut Bronco, with 31" tires and new Rancho shocks. I do have a heavy bumper. I posted a picture to give an idea.

set of airbags will set you back $250, but will get the job done.

How heavy is the trailer? With such a short wheel base, the Bronco doesn't tow trailers very well or safely. If your needing to add to the rear suspension, sounds to me like your wanting to tow something too big.

yeah I was looking for some airbags, but couldn't seem to find any for this application.

you won't find any specific to the EB. you will have to adapt some other kit, maybe from an S10 or full size.

I found a roadmaster active suspension kit, but was really hoping to find aome sort of helper air bag ...

I have the airbag setup on my F-250 and I bet it, or another similar, could easily be adapted to an EB. There is the part that simply bolts to the leaf spring over your clamp plate, and the upper plate the bolts to the frame.

A load equalizer hitch setup is amother great option though and IMO a better palce to start; I swear by them and they can/do help even more than rear assist from springs or bags because they transfer weight back to the front wheels too..where you need it to regain control and better steering.

How big and heavy is this trailer?

it is just a little 4x5 4 wheeler trailer, not that big, not that heavy. But when you are dealing with very little clearance (31" tires in uncut fenders) it would be nice to retain the gap you have. It isn't like a gooseneck or anything. But my Bronco is bouncy enough when it is unloaded.. so there again I do not wish to do anything to further stiffen the suspension. The ability to hitch up, then air up to level the load would be nice.
