Sure you can do it some with a 2-link and get away with it, but if you keep doing it over a long period of time, something's gotta give.

Can I still haul a trailer with a cantilever setup

[mikeman24]

You mean like a 6 link cantilever setup? I don't see any problems as long as the hitch is right and you're aired up enough. Not positive.

Bags come and 'bags go. No, we're not talkin' about old girlfriends. We're talking about airbags and airbag systems. Your girlfriend is a whole other matter, and you should look at another magazine for that advice. KP Components, located in Hilmar, California, has just the answer for your old 'bag woes: a six-link cantilever system that eliminates the 'bag-over-axle kit that everyone has been doing for years. The benefit of using this system is that it moves the 'bags from above the axle in a traditional application, to the link bars, which provides a mechanical advantage, thus requiring less air to lift the rear of your truck. The less air it takes to raise your truck off the ground, the softer the ride will be when you are driving it. The traditional 'bag-over-axle method only offers a 1:1 lift ratio, so if your airbag will extend 6 inches, that's how much lift you'll get and it will take a ton of air pressure to get there. The KP system multiplies that ratio several times for more lift and a softer ride.

If you're not handy with tools or just don't have the time and you want a pro-quality shop to do the install, call a reputable shop like Master Image Customs. MIC, as it is better known, has a new shop in Mission Viejo, California, and is a distributor for KP Components. When the folks at MIC heard about our old-school Silverado buildup, they said "How can we get some of that action?" Adam Diaz and crew proposed the KP six-link system, and we said, "Hell, yeah," because the crew is so well versed in 'bagging Chevys that they can finish the job in less than five working days.
