72' Chevy question
Ive seen a few pics in my search yieldings, but my question isnt awnsered yet...
Can i simply add a notch and bag on the stock rear links and sit low.. Im not totaly beat up on laying out yet.. Just want to lay low for now.. Any input? And I think the front is just a simple bolt on setup.. from S/D maybe? Thanks Guys, Will |

Re: 72' Chevy question
Yes, you can run the stock 2-link like I'm doing with a SD notch....adding blocks will give more drop if needed. Let me see if I can dig up a photo of mine on the two link without the notch....also keep in mind there are TONS of options on bagging, its all about preference and style..this site has a ton of info...so look around

Re: 72' Chevy question
to the board
You should check out the Texas CGITC in my sig IMO, you dont gain much from a bolt in notch & you will have to cut a hole in your bed floor for the pumpkin to poke through If I were you, I'd run some Slammed Specialties RE-6's in the rear with no notch, unless you dont mind having a hole in your bed I dont like holes in my bed, so I didnt put in a notch when I bagged Sinister And with Killer I did a frame Z & am raising the bed floor Here is Sinister with no notch just bags Ride height Dumped Also, blocks will only allow the axle to sit higher when the bags are at optimal height, not dump any lower |

Re: 72' Chevy question
Thanks Bomb...
You mean that if i put the blocks on iit will not allow the truck to sit lower? The only time i have used blocks was on the rear of a s10.. Thanks for the pics, and great truck! Ps. Can you tell me about the front? Last edited by Mrwlliam; 11-20-2008 at 04:25 PM. |

Re: 72' Chevy question
Here is a pic of how low you can get your truck without doing some form of major surgery. By major surgery I mean no Z'd frame, no step notch, no drop member, no hole cut out of the bed floor. This is a simple and easy setup using the factory trailing arms. Hope this helps.

Re: 72' Chevy question
If you're going to notch it, go with the step notch from SD...I think its only like 100.00, It would be a good investment, cause once you start going low, its only a matter of time before you want LOWER!!!
