Got Bags???
**updated! Fully bagged pics are in thread**
Well, thought I'd share the progress of my '67. The rear is bagged and we'll be doing the front this weekend. I've got a few fittings to re-plumb. Found the leaks tonight, shouldn't be hard to fix them. I just need to find that Loctite thread sealer. Local Pep-Boys doesn't stock. Here's the pics, enjoy! :metal: pic of the bag at full lift http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...t/100_0432.jpg pic of truck at full lift in rear http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...t/100_0430.jpg aired out: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...t/100_0425.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...t/100_0426.jpg I still have some room out back to go lower, as I've only got 1-1/2 blocks. I'm gonna get some 2" blocks and bury the rear another 1/2". |

Re: Got Bags???
Looks bad ass, wish I was in OT Florida. Suicide doors carries that loctite if nowhere locally has it.

Re: Got Bags???
Looks great! I've got a couple questions for ya. How bad was it to drill the hole for the air fitting for the bag? I was bummed to see that I would have to drill a big hole through that c-notch plate! Also, what size tires are you running on the back? Looks like we'll basically have the same setup (c-notch, bags, 2" blocks), except mine won't be back together until late winter/early spring. Just trying to get an idea of where mine will sit. Oh, what about the bed floor? any issue there yet?

FWIW, some newer Firestones are set up for single bolt installations on top & bottom..... others could have a similar arrangement & I welded the seams of my trailing arms w/a 2" bead every 6" or so the length of the arms. |
Re: Got Bags???
Wow, that's a great idea SCOTI. Wish I did a little more "thinking outside the box" on that. Hopefully it will save someone else some time and aggravation. I'm happy with the outcome of mine, and it's a super clean install the way I chose, it was just a total PITA. The fitting out of the bag is a MPT by quick-connect 90 ell, and then I'm running the airline straight down the frame-rail so everything is hidden.
With the bag flipped the airline will be running up the trailing arm, no? Do you have any pics of your setup? I'm interested in seeing how the line is ran. |
Re: Got Bags???
So did you get the front done or what??? I need pics, that truck is gonna be sick

Re: Got Bags???
Where did you get the kit from?

Re: Got Bags???
Front's done!!!!
Mad lift!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...t/100_0443.jpg Dumped: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...t/100_0446.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...t/100_0453.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...t/100_0448.jpg I should have got some pics hitting sides, but it looked like another storm was going to roll in so I put it back in the garage. Man it rides nice!! :metal: Now the only thing left is to install my 2nd Viair 380c compressor. The front really drains the tanks raising it up. |
Re: Got Bags???
