We install and set up the airbag on torsion bar front suspension for the 1939 Hudson Big Boy project. I explain the functioning of all the custom fabricated parts and discuss the importance of preloading the torsion bars to allow for the additional weight of the V8 engine and other parts that will increase body weight. This is necessary to ensure adequate airbag suspension travel range.
Finally, with all the custom fabricated components installed, we connect the airlines and see how the airbag suspension moves!😎

Thanks for the support and sponsorship from Mesco Engineering Supplies.
