Best Airbags for a Lowered 1987 Chevrolet R10
Question:
I am unsure if this will work for my truck since it has been lowered by a previous owner. Since I am just keeping it as is I thought I could install these airbag helpers, but I want to make sure they will fit my truck. The truck was lowered at least 3 inches all around. Also, if it does fit what would be the maximum load? Thank you!

Helpful Expert Reply:
In regards to the type of lowering kit that was installed on your 1987 Chevrolet R10, do you know if it was an axle flip kit installed (axle over leaf springs) or were lowering blocks/shackles used? If you have an axle flip kit then you are going to want to use the Air Lift SlamAir Air Helper Springs for Lowered Trucks part # AL59106BT but if you have lowering blocks/shackles then you will want to use the Air Lift SlamAir Air Helper Springs for Lowered Trucks part # AL59103. Though not specially mentioned via the fit guide, they will fit your R10 as confirmed by my contact at Air Lift.
They both have a 2,000 lb weight capacity.
