Looking to install helper bags in the rear of my '75C10 1/2 ton to. Who has done it, what did you buy and from who? Any general info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all.

I am in the middle of an install of an AOL setup on my suburban. I used this....

But...you're stock ride height, I think. So maybe this would work better for your application.....http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FIP-2071/

Any problems with the shock mounts?

Yes.

I have been told that you can get by fine if you switch the mounting of the passenger side shock to the rear of the axle. I cannot on my suburban because of a body mount, but that's what N2TRUX did on his '77 back when he had the ridetech AOL kit on it.

I think I will be able to get it to work on mine, just have to get the time this weekend to mess with it. Once it's done and I get a new camera, pics to follow....
