air bags on a 75

[scotty17509]

So im thinking about bagging my 75 shortbox. I really dont know where to begin and what is needed. I know ill need to step knotch the frame and possibly get some new front spindles. But im unsure what else is needed. I have searched around and have seen some with after market A-arms and some without. What is best for the money? Do i need some kind of 4 link for the rear?

how low do you want to go

I would like to be able to lay the frame if is not too much work.

Look at http://www.dropmember.com/home.php hes a member on here search dropmember he makes a front and rear kits.

[flamingbig10]

you'll need to z the frame or sandwich the factory cross member or get a sd raised cross member, or pd drop member

Suicide Doors has a front crossmember kit that's pretty cool that will alow you to lay flat out without doing a frame "Z", I kinda like it beter than the Porterbuilt crosmember. They also can set you up with what you'll need for the rear too.

So i checked out that kit, looks really nice. I wonder how the truck would handle with it?

Porterbuilt claims their c4 kit makes the truck handle really well. Id like to find some reviews on it.

Yeah the C4 kit from Porterbuilt looks like a good unit, but are you really gonna drive it hard enough to notice the difference? I know I wouldn't.

When you "Z" the frame you are cutting the frame in front of & behind the engine crossmember & raising it up to make the truck lower. It takes someone with good measuring & welding skills to make it line up straight & safe.

I also would like to know more about what A arms can be used? I have seen some people with stock and some with the aftermarket tubular?

[scotty17509]

So i checked out poterbuilt's site and going to shoot him a pm.

What exactly is a Z Frame anyway?
