think these brackets will work for me (pics)

[pissonNOS]

heres the rear brackets I got in my lowering kit wasnt exactly what I was expecting I was planning on running the bag where the coil is right now but maybe these are better? any one have opinions?

[PBFAB.COM]

Where did the kit come from?

[pissonNOS]

its from a kit that a guy put together aparently there for a 73-87 I think there gonna be sent back tho looks to me like they weld to the axle and the frame. I was planning on just bolting them to the trailing arm, is that a better way to go ?

[BK]

i think it would be better to bolt them to the trailing arms. they are designed to have the springs there. i think those are are more designed for 4-links and similar applications. just my 2 cents, thats what id do.

[pissonNOS]

ya that's what I thought the guy doesn't have a problem with me exchanging them or trading fir bags with threaded holes not studs

Those are "under the bed" bag brackets. Wish you had posted this last week! I just bought some from KP. They most likely won't work for you unless you have a step notch and bridge. The longer ones go on the bottom and get welded to your axle, and the top ones get welded to the bridge bar and you mount your bags to them. If you're just going to mount your bags in the stock spring location then those plates are pretty much useless for you.

not to sound like a jerk, but from this thread and the other one about your compressor, sounds like you had no idea about what you paid for...

It pays to do your homework!! We are here for you! any questions just ask.

if you knew the story i did do my homework, I was told the kit being ordered was for my truck with coil springs, and that it would be a Viair compressor and tank which the tank is, the brackets already have gone back and i got my money back for them so thats solved now the issue of the compressor is still on going. I dont think its necassarily the guy im dealing with so much as the company he bought everything from, at first all they sent was a manual setup when he had specified vavle setup so he gave me the valve setup for the manual setup, the guy is trying to make the deal right to me. so maybe do your own home work first and ask me about the story before you assume I dont know what im talking about

[67Fleet]

I think what jlaird meant was that there's a ton of us on here that have experience with different vendors. Ask around for who's had good or bad service with certain companies so you can make an accurate and sound decision about who you want to give your money to. We all just want to help, because what comes around eventually goes around. No harm, no foul. Now you know for next time. At least the guy you're dealing with directly seems to want to make good on what he sold you.

[pissonNOS]

ya hes being really good about it actually he showed me his credit card bill of the stuff he bought for me it was $1485 and he charged me $1500, then the whole issue of no valves came into play so he bit the bill for that to me thats customer service shiity products or not. I hear ya on the asking around part but up here in canada were kinda limited, people mostly customizing snowblowers and ski-doos.

[jlaird]

Like I said before, I'm not trying to stir anything up. But simply put, I wouldn't buy anything unless I saw a picture of what I was buying. I could be wrong, but it doesn't sound like you looked at a picture of what you where buying or you would of realized you were buying weld on axle brackest and a no-name compressor. I hope you are able to resolve everything...

[pissonNOS]

lets hope so, hes more than happy to let me return anything so thats a bonus for now the rear bags, brackets and compressor are going back

Can't stay in business long that way... at least he has some "customer service"...? Hopefully he can get you all set up right. Make sure you get your Viair... that little red beauty won't compare.

Im sure they will but what seems to have happened with this whole ordeal is either the guy selling me the stuff got lied to on what was in a kit or I did. I just figured id try some one local before having to deal with the hassle of the border let alone wait probly 4 weeks to see anything

they seem to be a busy shop and ill admit the should stick to wonking on S-10s which is sort of there specialty and audio installs. Im still not going to run the guy into the dirt yet tho not until the deal is done ill be keeping you all posted

[L0WRIDE]

well if you get your money back from these guys you could always give rob a call at macgyvers street rods (www.macgyvers.com) robs a member on this board

PissonNos, Im sorry to say, but I have had a very good relationship with Kpcomponents. These brackets you bought have nothing to do with a lower kit, and clint would have, or should have, told you this. Dropping one of these trucks isn not a task that just anyone could take on, but its no big deal at the same time. Everyone takes a step back, just keep positive and ask as many questions as you can. This forum can help you more then you could ever imagine. I just welded the same brackets on my 9" with a Kp step notch on a 70. I dont mean to sound rude, an I hope I don't. I've spent way to much time on this site, but I've learned everything I know about these trucks right here

[pissonNOS]

big shoe Im not quite understanding you response here you say the brackets have nothing to do with a lowering kit then you say you just installed them with a step notch was something worded wrong?

[Slammed66]

Dude , I thought we had this covered


figure out what bags your gonna use and Ill whip ya up a set of brackets post haste.

[pissonNOS]

dude i talked to you after i started this thread. All the sh!t I had bought went back at lunch today and rob at macguyvers is making me a kit and getting me some prices. told him id talk to you about brackets and such tho so ill try and get ahold of you this weekend
