raising 91 firebird front in to get it on a trailer

so cal custom · 01-19-2021, 07:06 PM

I'm thinking of ways to raise and lower the front end of my 91 firebird so i can get it on the trailer with out having to mess with raising the trailer tong, extension ramps etc.

My question is...Im wondering if there is a way to put air bags on it and just use them to raise the car to get it on the trailer and deflate them to race.

would air bags do the trick? or do you guys have any ideas that would let me do this without messing with the suspension while racing?

2 X 8's before the ramps help a lot, sometimes you need to double them up if the car's that low.

Jegs sells angled ramps. Solved the problem I had with my 13 Mustang

How much does this '91 Firebird race car weigh?

Can you post pics of the race car and trailer?
