N2TRUX-questions about your set-up

Hey there, where did you get your bags for the rear of your ride? Will you have any clearance issues with the rim/tire and the bags/brackets? I know that the frames are different, but i want to use a bolt in notch and use the same holes for the bags upper bracket.I used a very simmilar setup on my 95 gmc extra cab with a 4/6 and i just need the same leveling/helper setup. I am also thinking about removing leafs but want to keep wrap to a mininal. How many leafs would you recomend? It just has a flip now(bought it that way) there is about 3 inches between axle tube and frame, but rides like a wagon!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR ANY INFO............

Sorry for the delayed response bro! Since I have to keep an eye on three forums these days, sometimes I don't get by here as often as I would like.
All of my air suspension came from Air Ride Technologies. I had the sytem installed by Roger at Stoked Out Specialties. It was design to make sure I had no clearence issues and works very well.

Since this is the first air over leaf suspension I have done I can't offer any suggestions on how many leafs to pull. My 77 is running the top two leafs from the stock spring pack. It rides very nice, and I have no spring wrap issues to report...

I installed the same ART rear kit as Ken's on a 95 and used the main and overload leaf and he says he has no wrap issues either and loves the way it rides.

Talk to Tony at ART. He will tell you they don't recommend doing it like mine is done, but it works just fine.

Izzy are you talking about the flat overload leaf? That's interesting.....
