    Host Bruce Bonebrake installs an air-controlled suspension system on a classic 1985 Chevy El Camino. The system provides a more comfortable ride as well as better handling and is very popular with street rodders and collector car enthusiasts due to the lowered stance the air-controlled system provides. Technicians from Air Ride Technologies join Bruce for the installation, which includes installing dual air compressors and dual air tanks to provide the adjustable suspension. The front suspension is further modified with new tubular upper and lower control arms, and a rear stabilizer bar is added to the rear of the vehicle to help with cornering.
