The 5 gallon tank for the air bags is mounted in the right rear quarter panel along with the Viair compressor, controlled by a Dakota digital control system. The valve assembly and battery are housed inside the left rear quarter panel. Wilwood polished 4 wheel power disc brakes supply the braking power.

The transmission is a 700R4 with lockup convertor controlled by a switch under the dash for on the road economy. The rear is a 9” Currie unit with posi and highway friendly gears.
