Re: best way to bag my 65
***************** for front plates/cups and bags. Also check out Mr.Shelly's thread in the FAQ for pics on the install. You can bag your truck on the cheap this way(~$500) without spending all the dough on a "kit".

Re: best way to bag my 65
Slam Specialties RE200 bags 7"- $75ea x4 = $300
***************** front cups/plates = $60 Firestone air line service kit- $30ea x2 = $60 1/2npt to 1/4npt reducers- $2ea x2 = $5 Miscellaneous grade 8 fasteners ~$20 That's about $450 and will pretty much equal a 3"/5" drop at ride height. I would also recommend shock relocators and new shocks as well as an adjustable panhard bar while you're doing it. The relocators are $60 from either ECE or CPP. Shocks- everyone uses the cheap Monroe Sensa-Tracs. For a little more dough, you can go quite a bit lower. 2.5" Drop Spindles = $250 2" lowering blocks = $75 CPP bolt-in notch = $100 -Chris

Re: best way to bag my 65
Its more than a 3/5 drop on the 65's and 66's... My back bumper I believe sat about 4 inches off the ground w/ no notch but some firestone 2600's in the back in stock location. I think that's more than a 3/5 drop but sadly I didn't measure beforehand. Lemme know if u want pics of the height or anything, I've got a few from before I notched mine.

Re: best way to bag my 65
Chris, is that a good choice vs. the very expensive adjustable shocks? I am running the old shocks that came with my 3/5 static spring drop from ECE. This is my first air ride truck and I have never ridden in another air ride truck [not very many up here in the mountains] so I don't have a reference point but I think the front of my truck rides kinda rough unless I go down below 80 lbs in my 2600s. I would like to go with a different shock but wasn't too excited about spending $500 on adjustables.

Re: best way to bag my 65
With the ease of these c-notches on c-channel frames I dont see why anyone would want to have the axle tag the frame on occasion instead of making the proper clearances. Yes I know bumpstops are there to quieten the blow but how many times do you want to hit that knowing how hard it hits.
Im just the kind that looks under these trucks or cars lowered and want to make sure I have enough clearances everywhere and a c-notch isnt going to make me blink twice. |

Re: best way to bag my 65
I hear alot of questions either here or on other boards about lowering trucks and the question always comes up "Do you have to notch the frame on a 6" rear drop??" Or 5" rear drop and so on.
I did my 2-4 drop on my Ram when only one kit was available and the same nite I finished the drop I looked underneath at ride height and told myself theres no way I am ever going to be happy with that much room between the axle and bumpstop with our crappy roads. The very next day i was c-notching the frame and never once looked back as that being a bad decision.i did the notch on that frame before a kit was out because those frames are hydro formed 360 degree boxed frames and universal ones werent out...........and those frames are way way toughter to c-notch than a c-channel frame. I also have a bad back as of 3 years ago and I have driven some very harsh drops in my time(customers and friends) and will not ever have a dropped car or truck of mine ever have a rough ride like those did.

Re: best way to bag my 65
My axle in my s-10 sat about a 1/2" from the frame for a bout a month... What a PITA. It seems every 2 seconds it would be bouncin off of it.. Also my buddies truck frame cracked in a spot. We dotn know if it was from bottoming out or not but I am sure if was def. a good factor in it.

Re: best way to bag my 65
Yep. You can even use the cheaper Monroe-Matics. That's what comes with all the ART kits- just with an ART sticker on them...

Re: best way to bag my 65
Good to know. When I ordered my ART stuff I deleted the shocks, now I can just get the same thing for 28 bucks, cool.
