Switch Suspension Front Air Bag Brackets - 1988-1998 Chevy/GMC C1500 OBS

Building an air ride OBS and need brackets that actually fit right the first time? Switch Suspension's Front Air Bag Brackets are purpose-engineered for the GM C/K1500 chassis, not some universal bracket you have to hammer, grind, and pray into place. These bolt straight to your factory front lower control arm mounting points and position your air bag with the correct offset for proper alignment against the lower arm, so your geometry stays clean through the full range of travel.

Every bracket is laser-cut from thick steel plate and finished in a satin black powder coat that holds up to years of road grime, brake dust, and weather, so your air ride setup looks as good after three summers as it did the day you bagged it. Grade 8 hardware is included for every mounting point, because the last thing you want on an air suspension truck is hardware that backs out or shears under load. The kit includes both upper and lower bag brackets (two of each) plus all necessary mounting hardware, so there's nothing extra to source before you're ready to mount bags.

These brackets are designed around common front air bags like the Economy 2600, Firestone Ride-Rite 2600, and Slam Specialties SS-7, giving you flexibility on which bag fits your budget and ride quality goals. Keep in mind some minor frame trimming may be needed for bag clearance depending on your final ride height and wheel/tire combo, which is normal for any front air setup on these trucks.

Whether you're building a mild bagged daily that still rides comfortable on the highway, or a laid-out show truck that lays frame at every stoplight, getting your bracket geometry right up front saves you a mountain of headaches down the road. Poor bag positioning leads to premature bag wear, bad handling, and clearance problems that never quite go away. Switch Suspension solved that by designing these brackets specifically for the OBS front end rather than adapting a one-size-fits-all part.

Fits 1988-1998 Chevy and GMC C1500 trucks. Pair these with our rear air suspension components, drop spindles, or control arms to complete a full front-to-rear bag setup, or run them alongside your existing coils for a front-only air ride conversion. Bolt-on installation means you can have your front end bagged and aired out in an afternoon in your own garage.
