Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Got any pics of your sway bar interference area?
I'm not sure I understand the issue?

No, actually I didn't take any pics with the sway bar. I was only under there for a short time and didn't think about it. I connected the end links to the PB LCAs and the sway bar, then just lifted it up to the frame. It contacted the outer bumper brackets which hang below the frame. I just snapped these pics with my cell phone to show what I'm talking about (minus the sway bar). The sway bar would need to mount on the angled part of the frame, pretty close to where the bumper bracket bolts to the frame. Since I don't have the "stand offs" or whatever the brackets are called, I just ordered a set off of Summit Racing for lowered trucks. I think they're actually made by CPP. Hoping the brackets will fix the mounting issue.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Hmmm,... you might have to trim the bumper bracket a little also.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Very nice pics, hope the drop bracket solves your sway bar issue. If not just do what Keith said and trim the bumper brackets

Thanks! Thanks! I want to try and drop the front a little more, maybe an inch or so, but not sure how much these current wheels will allow. I'll be testing it soon. If I get it to work out with a lower stance, I'll post some more pics.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Brackets showed up today. Too bad it's been raining all day and is supposed to continue tomorrow. I guess I'll try for Friday after work, if I'm out before dark

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
I was able to do some work on the truck today. Got the sway bar installed...
Started to get the rear air bags installed too... I got everything installed, and lines ran, filled the bags and found that the drivers side wouldn't hold any air. Found the leak in the fitting, so I took it back apart and this is what I found... I'm guessing there was something wrong with the threads in the 1/2" x 3/8" (?) adapter. Contacted Travis with ProPerformance to get new fittings sent out. I'll probably get it finished next weekend.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Travis (Pro Performance) is AWESOME!!! I asked him to send me a bill for the new fitting and adapter so I could replace the damaged pieces and he just sent them to me, no charge! That's awesome customer service! Even little things like that help keep customers like myself coming back. The fittings showed up today, so I should be able to get it back in this weekend and complete my bag install.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Aired out, sitting on the bump stops...
Front aired out, after alignment. The tires sit in a bit more, as you can see by the marks left by the tires from last time.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Aired out
Ride height... Might have to raise the back a half inch or so. Looks like it's got a load in it. Also need to save for air management. This manual valve thing is nice for the wallet, but not for adjustability.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
Truck is looking great. It does make it tough to go take aired out pictures without air management onboard. Might just carry around one of those 5 gal air tanks so your covered just incase.
