anybody have pics of bagged stock bed floor, arms, x-member etc?

I posted this in the suspension board a while back but didnt really have any luck so I thought I would try here.

Does anyone have pictures of the truck/blazer with just drop spindles and bags, simple 4 link rear and stock floor? Everyone seems really concerned with laying frame and thats really all I find while searching for pictures. Thanks

Re: anybody have pics of bagged stock bed floor, arms, x-member etc?

I have drop spindles, bagged and stock floor(as far as no body drop). My bed floor has been raised but has nothing to do with the air ride. If you mean stock floor as no hole in the bed floor then I know there are a few on here that may post soon and that would require a c notch instead of a step notch.
just to clear this up, the heading states stock bed floor but the post says stock floor. I do think you mean the bed floor to be stock correct? The posting could be missunderstood to be stock floor body drop.
just making sure I and maybe others understand the question.

Yes, he is wanting to see some that are aired out without being "all cut up". How low can you lay out with out changing any part of the floor?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: anybody have pics of bagged stock bed floor, arms, x-member etc?

Sounds exactly like your old crew cab. With your 20's I can set the crossmember on the garage floor and Im way inside the inner lip on the fender. Rear has the Air Bar, and will not go any lower than the c-notch. But Im still not going to post a pic.

Someday when its done I might.

Re: anybody have pics of bagged stock bed floor, arms, x-member etc?

Kens truck isnt the best example because it could still go lower if he still removed his inner fenders, and if I remember correctly he also wanted it to be able to roll when aired out (in case of a broken line, or bag).

His front has AirRides bag kit and spindles, the rear has AirRide Triangulated 4 link with a C-notch.

I was thinking you were wanting truck pics.... His pickup with the front AirRioe bags and Air over leaf was as close to stock and dropped as you can get.

Ken, in the rear did your axle bump the tub or the c-notch first?

Unfortunately I no longer own that Blazer. After many attempts to find a shop that would finish it failed, I finally sold it.

Adam it actually did both at about the same time. We had the short flat stops in the notch, and the pumpkin would barely bump the pan when aired out.

I've been comparing your's to others that I've seen with a stock floor and it looks like your rear goes a lot lower? Does a 10 bolt have that much smaller of a pumpkin? Is the notch on yours bigger than most? Any ideas ?

Re: anybody have pics of bagged stock bed floor, arms, x-member etc?

i dont know, my chunk hits the floor, axle hits top of the notch and tires just touch the inner fenders all at the same time, so if i had 22s it would not go as low... so I dont know.
