I am looking to go full air ride rear suspention on my 78 c30 3+3.
I do not want to lower it as I will be using it to haul 35 ft camper, live stock trailer or hay trailer.

Almost every "kit" I have found is to slam the truck in the weeds.
This is not what I am wanting.

If need be I will fab my own with custom 4 link.

Any help would be appreciated.

Going full and putting it on its rockers doesn't mean you can't tow. Plenty of pics of bodied squares (and others) hauling 3 car goosenecks.

That being said, I get it if you don't have the air ride disease. Probably cheaper that way. Is there any reason you don't want to keep the leafs and just put in helper bags? That's going to be a lot easier than doing a full link set.

If you're set on the full air ride, parallels with a panhard will probably be your easiest route. Bags over axle will be your best bet, as you retain the full weight rating of the bags. If you run a bridge bar, you can mount the bags on that and get some massive bags in there that will handle more than you can put on it. I'm not sure what else you're looking for here, feel free to throw questions at me.
