Rear Bags are done with compressor, tank and solenoid mounted.

I've still got clean everything up and will eventually shoot some semi-gloss black paint.

Where did you get your air bag brackets?

**Hart_Rod** · 07-05-2005, 11:16 AM

I usde ART (Air Ride Technolgies) Components. http://ridetech.com/ I've done a lot of fabrication, but this was my first Bagging project. It was pretty straight forward, so far, I haven't done the front yet.

**Hart_Rod** · 08-17-2009, 09:17 AM

They came with the bags from ART (air ride tech).

Looks good, Can you post a picture from the side when he is all the way down?

**kev2809** · 08-17-2009, 03:37 PM

x2 on the side pics, i would like too see how low it goes. are you going not notch the frame with a c notch or monster notch? and also, do those top cups keep the drop higher as if you didnt run any cups at all?

Here's a few pictures. I put in a bolt in notch and 2" blocks. The cups do prevent it from going lower, but it's hitting the bottom of my rear floor as it is.

**kev2809** · 08-17-2009, 08:51 PM

so this is the red suburban right? are you going to run drop blocks and notch the frame too? it looks low already in that pic

Yeah, it's the red one. It's got a cpp bolt in notch and 2" blocks. Here's a couple of more pictures

**kev2809** · 08-17-2009, 10:14 PM

ah alright, that looks good. so even when it was green it had the notch and blocks? is the c notch sitting on the axle?

I notched/bagged it before it was painted. The notch sits on top of the rear axle (it has 1/2" bump stop). The top of the differential just barely touches the floor.

how much more of a drop you think you would get with a monster notch?

**Hart_Rod** · 08-18-2009, 08:00 AM

You could probably get the rockers on the ground, but then you would have to cut the floor and do a different rear trailing arm crossmember.

**kev2809** · 08-18-2009, 08:39 PM

man, hard to believe it used to be that green one, hehe. looks good. im gonna have to get with you about the fittings you used with your bag setup, im having a tough time getting mine together!

jorgensensc · 08-23-2009, 10:24 AM

What size bags did you end up using? I have been debating going with 8" bags in rear and 7" in front (Big Block 3/4). I want to tow with it also. What size tank are you using?
