Rear AirRide 'Strong Arm' Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SCOTI · 06-28-2008, 05:48 PM

Does anyone have the rear ART trailing arms on their truck? If so, I was curious about the measurement from the air bag pad on top of the arm to the rear end 'saddle' that the rear end sits on.

I would like to know the height difference between the two....

I can get you the measurements tonight when I get home if you still need them. Not sure what you mean by the "saddle" or where on the bag plate you want the measurements from.

I want the difference from the pad where the bags sits vs. the pad that the rear housing tubes sit on. So if you put a straight edge on the pad for the rear housing & measured the distance from there down to the pad that the bag sits on (I want to know the height difference between the two).

OK, I think I got it. I will measure it when I get home and post it tonight. I will also take a photo of what I'm measuring to make sure it's what you need.

100% appreciated!

I hope this is what you needed. Measurement A is 2 1/4 inches and B is 3 3/4 inches. If this is not what you needed, I can take more measurements. I placed a level at the bottom of the bag plate and measured from there to the top of the housing pad from the front and back.
