Wagenswest 1968-79 VW Bus rear frame notching air ride kit

This Wagenswest rear air bag frame rail kit for 1968-79 Volkswagen buses comes with all the metal parts needed to install bags in the rear of your bus. As you can see cutting and welding is required! For years we have been fabricating these into buses and now we are offering a no “guess work” kit.

This rear bay bag kit is made to go with our air-ride beam, found here.

This is not a job for the novice, but it really is the best way we have found to bag the back of a Bay Window bus. Horseshoe drop plates or 4.5” drop plates are needed to get you low, and this kit will both notch the frame for your axles and give you UP & DOWN motion.

Bus narrowed air ride beam, for 1955-79 Volkswagen Buses

Wagenswest narrowed air ride beam, can be made custom, but come 4″ inches narrowed and utilize two 2500 pound air bags, the bags sit inside the frame rails of the bus. The beam is designed to use the stock narrowed springs in both top and bottom tube, with the top spring being held by an adjuster and the bottom spring supported by the air bags. The ride height and air bag travel is dependent on the adjustable pre-load of the top spring.

Our narrowed air ride beam is labor intensive and the bottom tube is just plum full of goodies that make this thing work awesome!

This Bus narrowed air ride beam includes, air bags and Wagenswest OE Style needle bearings or bushings as well as a new center pin.
