Air ride stock otherwise
65 coil springs..no mods to suspension at all
No notch(yet) no drop member.. Ss7s front ss8s rear.. Do y'all use cups out back or just in replacement of coil springs Ride height 5-7 extended.. I want to be 1-2" s from hitting axle on the frame (for right now) Even line front to back Just buy 4 mounts , shave front cup if needed and do or don't use rear cups?? |

Re: Air ride stock otherwise
I just bought these http://www.ebay.com/itm/63-72-Chevro...item2a6a61421b
I plan on using SS-7 bags all around. You can eliminate the rear brackets and mount the bag directly to go lower, but you will need a notch. |

Re: Air ride stock otherwise
I just used the top mounting cup to provide access to the air fitting and the bottom is directly mounted to the trailing arm...

Re: Air ride stock otherwise
With that setup how low do you think it goes from stock height
Or how much space do you think you have until you hit frame to the axle? What is your ride height and what is the height of the bag at ride height? |

Re: Air ride stock otherwise
I've also read that u can use stock front shocks for the lowered back?
What about front shocks? Any other car/truck stocks work? |

Re: Air ride stock otherwise
I don't know what the difference in suspension height to stock mine is. Below is a photo of my truck at ride height. For shocks, you'll need to make sure the length of the rebound and compression stroke accommodates your suspension travel. In my case, I installed the shock mount relocation kits front and rear.
