A dually,a 'burb in the drive and a truck parked in front of the dually.Now you're building a swb.I'm jealous,too.If the neighbors get on you just let me know and I will take whichever off your hands and out of their sight.

Nice score man to bad I wasn't able to go help with it.

shaneschevys · 05-27-2007, 12:44 AM

I don't like the way the truck pulls a trailer. The coil springs are to unstable for me.

Shane, have you tried helper bags? I think that's what SCOTTI did since he pulls a lot with his 68 SWB.

shaneschevys · 05-28-2007, 09:53 AM

I have thought about the bags.

How would you go about installing these if you have coils?

My suburban had them mounted on the trailing arm between the coilspring and the front trailing arm attachment point. It had a bracket welded to the trailing arm for the bottom mount and one welded to the frame for the top mount. Sorry I don't have any pictures, but I think you get the idea.

Hey these guys did a great job dearching my springs if you wanted to go that route for the drop
