Air Ride?
I know a lot of people here think it's sacrilegious but I'm thinking of doing an air ride setup on my 70. I like the ability to raise and lower it at will. Has anyone else gone this route?

No, but I had a car with a factory air ride system at one time. It would change the ride height by about 7/10 inch. How much height change are you wanting?

I'm not a fan of them because the proper failure precautions are usually ignored. People set the suspension to drag the ground when lowered, if the system fails at speed it will drag the ground.
