MackMack613 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Got a 93 ch with 48k camelback, front diff is bad, 3200 for reman 1000 from salvage. Picked up a superliner on air ride with recently replaced diffs( front and rear ). How much trouble am I getting into by trying to convert it to air ride?

Vladislav Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Might be not a hell of a job. On the other hand start from relating the width of the frames. CH has it different than RW. You will need the axles with equalizer levers and to-rail brackets, air bag suppor crosst tubes and also two rear frame crossmembers to put on your truck. Looking the crossmembers and equalizer brackets you might see spacer plates which compensate the difference between different frames. If you can not use the crossmembers in your frame or if the distance (width) between the lever brackets is less than on the CH the deal might get failed. Swapping just the pair of diffs seems much easier and too probably trouble-free about the job.
