Re: Parts list to be draggin....
That should take care of the major stuff. Just remember, when doing something like this, a hundred other little things will pop up. I would definetly go with drop spindles, otherwise you'll have that real nasty negative camber thing going on, and I think that looks like crap. I'm not sure, but they should make drop spindles for drum's, but why not just change over to disc's? For a couple hundred bucks over just dropped spindles, you could have a whole disc conversion kit with drop spindles from ECE or CPP. You will have to buy cups or plates for the front airbags, too. If your truck has a trailing arm suspension, that will take care of the big stuff. Of course, like I said, other stuff will come up. Don't hesitate to call Suicide Doors. They know their stuff and will help you out.

Re: Parts list to be draggin....
Without drop spindles you'll get camber like mine This is with a 3" Z and a 1.25" c/member section. 9" wheel laid out the outside of the tire doesn't even touch the gound. I do plan on adding drop spindles sounds like you have a hold on the biggest parts. Don't forget shocks/brackets and two or three hundred for all of the stuff you didn't think you'd need

Re: Parts list to be draggin....
I have never seen any threads like that about Viair. I can probably pull up some on air zenith if you want.

Re: Parts list to be draggin....
I know you are not trying to be mean...but I am new to air bags and air bag kits. I don't know the difference between either one...just stating what I was told...But that was one person...i have heard many say Viair was good...so...not sure where that leaves me..lol...
this is the thread where it was mentioned...maybe he just had a bad experience with them.. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=295182
