Would anyone know how to get up with hooman pedram? I noticed on the gallery that his Thing was lowered and bagged. Would anyone else know how to install airbags on a Thing? Thanks for any help....... |

Airkewled sells full bag systems, dig deep into your pocket for this one.
I am building a radical custom Thing and have been thinking of bagging it. _________________ If your not workin or cleanin your not looking hard enough. |

Might be worth your time to find a junked beetle and grab the front suspension off it. It will be a direct replacement and I am told drop the front about three inches. |

Assuming the '73 is a standard, disconnect the brake lines and pull the four bolts holding the beam to the framehead, swap the whole unit over to the thing, and bleed the brakes. Mind you, while I know they're a direct swap, I have only been told that this will drop you about three inches, but it would make sense. |
