| SUPERSLAM IFS SYSTEM. An airbag IFS with nine inches of travel and no wheel scrub. |

| This passenger-side shot reveals a normal ride height with about 80 psi in the airbag. Note the downward angle of the upper tubular A-arm and the straight tire/wheel assembly. |
At approximately 40 psi in the airbag, the suspension has dropped a few inches, the tapered end A-arms are unequal with each other, and the tire/wheel assembly is still straight. |
Some shops weld nuts to the ends of the inner tubular A-arms and then screw the rod in. Not at Scott's. The tubes are tapped (threaded) and the rod ends are screwed in for maximum strength. |
The driver's side is exactly the same. By the way, note the workmanship and the rack-and-pinion steering. |

| Here's the same (at about 40 psi). For testing, both lines were tied together with a single "T" air inlet. |
Here is a close up of Scott's collared ball joint. The grease fitting is bottom-mounted. |
The key to keeping the front tire/wheel assembly straight while the chassis moves, according to Scott's Justin Padfield, are the adjustable alignment rod ends, collared upper ball joint and tapered end upper and lower A-arms. |
The Firestone airbags, as engineered, are bolted in place. The air inlet fittings and line are heavy-duty/industrial type. |

| This angle of the right suspension reveals "smooth" engineering everywhere. Scott's upper and lower airbag brackets are 1/4-inch thick for strength. Each is one piece. Yes, the airbag suspension uses shock absorbers for dampening the bumps. The brand choice is strictly up to you. |
Scott's has the steel inner framerail walls used in boxing the frame for strength. Note the engine mount tabs as well as Scott's superb welding and finish sanding. |
Scott's Superslam IFS is sold in pieces or in a complete kit, in two styles, Standard or SHow. This Standard kit was just installed on Barb Perallis' vintage Ford pickup. She wanted a ride like her new Ford Expedition. Note the boxed framerails-a must for strength. |
