airmaxxx Front Air Bag Brackets for 1963-1987 Chevy/GMC C10 2WD

Front Air Suspension Bracket Kit for Classic Chevy and GMC Trucks

Upgrade the front suspension on your classic Chevy or GMC truck with the airmaxxx Front Air Bag Bracket Kit. Designed for 1963-1987 Chevy/GMC C10 2WD trucks and related GM 2WD truck applications, this kit gives you a strong, clean mounting solution for installing front air bags in place of the factory coil springs.

Whether you are building a frame-laying C10, a clean street cruiser, or a full air ride suspension setup, these front brackets provide the foundation needed for adjustable ride height, a custom stance, and dependable front air suspension performance.

Choose Brackets Only or Add Compatible Front Air Bags

This kit is available with or without front air bags, so you can order exactly what your build needs. Choose the bracket kit by itself if you already have bags, or select one of the compatible air bag options to complete your front setup.

• Brackets Only – Front upper and lower air bag brackets with mounting hardware
• airmaxxx Air Bags – Reliable front air spring option for classic truck air ride builds
• Air Lift D2600 Air Bags – Genuine Air Lift Dominator bags from a trusted brand with added lift capacity
• Slam Specialties SS7 Air Bags – Popular performance air spring option known for strength and ride quality
• Universal Air 7 XL Gen 2 Air Bags – Our recommended premium option for customers wanting the best ride quality from this setup

Why Choose the Universal Air 7 XL Gen 2?

For the smoothest ride option on this front C10 air ride bracket kit, we recommend the Universal Air 7 XL Gen 2 air bag. This is the newest premium air bag option we offer for this setup and is a great choice for customers who want more travel, a larger usable ride-height range, and a smoother driving feel.

The Universal Air 7 XL is designed as an extra-long 7-inch air spring with bead plates and a single-bellow style design. Universal Air lists the 7 XL Gen 2 with a 2.75-inch collapsed height, 10.75-inch extended height, 7-inch maximum diameter, and an optimum ride height range of 4.25 inches to 7 inches. That added travel and larger sweet spot can help the truck ride better at normal driving height compared to many standard air bag options.

Optional AirSafe Emergency Support Bump Stops

You can also add AirSafe Emergency Support Bump Stops to this front bracket kit. AirSafe bump stops are designed to help keep the front of the truck from fully dropping to the ground if the air suspension loses pressure unexpectedly.

They are a smart option for trucks that get driven regularly, taken on longer trips, or cruised to shows. If an air line, fitting, valve, or air bag issue causes the front suspension to air out, the AirSafe bump stops can help protect expensive parts like your oil pan, headers, steering components, suspension parts, and crossmember from damage.

The photo below shows the AirSafe bump stop installed on a front air ride setup. This gives the suspension a physical support point instead of letting the truck drop completely onto the ground during an unexpected air-out situation.

Precision Fit Front Brackets

The laser-cut upper bracket bolts to the front crossmember using the spring pocket’s outer flange, while the lower bracket is contoured to fit the lower control arm coil spring pocket. The brackets are finished in a durable black powder coat to help resist corrosion and wear.

Final ride height, air-out height, tire clearance, frame clearance, and ground clearance can vary depending on air bag choice, wheel and tire size, suspension setup, engine weight, crossmember clearance, and vehicle modifications.

For the best all-around ride quality, choose the Universal Air 7 XL Gen 2 air bag option. For added protection during an unexpected air-out situation, add the AirSafe Emergency Support Bump Stops.
