too low to fit, or they wont let you?

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

Love the look of them scraping on the floor.

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

All the drive ways are too steep, I'm still on a schrader so I don't mess with the air unless its going to be sitting for a while.

The rear is about 4" off the ground, low + longbed = no bueno for drive ways
Unless I plan on redoing my roll pan every day lol

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

Too bad Im not home. I would have given you my brackets for the front bags. I have no use for them anymore since my dropmember is installed

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

Holy crap dude! You got some fab skills! Amazing work making all those pieces out of scratch. Talk about genuine, made in America builds!! :flag:

Subrscribed!

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

Excellent work bud

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

Thanks guys means a lot
I'm a bit of a penny pincher an I just like miking stuff
I work on cars all day so this what I do for my me time

Next Tuesday I'm off so I'm going to start Monday night when I get off work
The plan is to get the bags mounted and aired up with schraders
It's going to bottom out on the shock till make a upper shock relocation bracket
I have a set of strut/loop style shocks so I can get smoother articulation

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

I'll still take them off your hands
They can come in handy for templates
I just put a piece of cardboard to the bottom of the spring pocket and traced it
I'll line up the bag in the center and trace it to get my base

Let me know when your back ill pay for shipping

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

What made you wanna lower it ?

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

I grew up around hydrostatic and airbags so its in the blood
It's more of a curse lol I can't avoid it

And it's kinda one of those things
When you start to go lower it just gets closer and closer to the ground
