Need help locating air ride parts/ info
 
Hey guys. I need a little info here. I I'm fixing to put dom 2600 bags on my truck stock trailing arms with lower plates. No plates on top. I'm gonna run porterbuilt arms and plates up front. I need to know what size and length bolts to install the bags. Particularly on the rear. I have seen pics of bolts with a nice aluminum washer....I just need them to be strong and engage all threads top and bottom. Also with my oil pan clearance I may not be able to air out all the way in front. Where is the best place to install a bump stop and not have it damage the bag?

No inner fenders, stock crossmember, relocated hood hinges...

Rear bolt: measure the trailing arm, add enough length for the washer and to engage the bag to manufacturer spec'd depth. Harmonic balancer washers work well.

Front bump stop: check out how ART mounts theirs, off of the outer bolts for the upper plate, facing down.

Does your oil pan hang lower then then the lower control arms ?

Yes, I have made a metal cage and skid plate for protection. Eventually I will pull the motor and change the pan. But I have not wanted to go through that Hassel yet....
