Nope. Since Mopars use torsion bars instead of coil springs, there really is not enough room to install an air-ride type suspension in the front. The rear is simple enough, as it's just a standard leaf spring setup, but the whole front end would need to be re-engineered to accomodate bags. |

I've seen Hydraulics on ONE MoPar. A '70 Newport...He had to hack out the inner fenders to do it, and it resulted in a cracked frame rail...Not Pretty. I've seen Air Bags on ONE MoPar, a '67 Newport that was at Spring Fling in '00. He removed the inner fenders, too, and had what looked like a strut-tower brace welded in with the bag setup. Didn't look like a single thing up front bolted in. TONS of torching and fabricating, though. |

The coilover K-member that bigblockdart sells would be good candiate for the airbag treatment. It is based on the Mustang II. And this K-member is a bolt-in. |
