Attn: Slammed 67
I've been doing some thinking about your height dilemma Slammed67 and a solution came to me last night as I was headed for bed. I drew up a little sketch to follow that should help to explain it. It only requires modification of your upper bag brackets, rather than your whole front crossmember. If the bag's positon in the control arms was raised height up into the upper spring pocket it would lower the front similar to a lowering spring, so you could achieve your drop in the front, while still having your preffered 80psi in the front bags. Now when it come time to raise your truck up to it's max, it would be slightly lower than it's current max height but it would be better than the 1.5" notched crossemeber method. That doesn't really matter, we're building these trucks to go low not high anyways! Only other possible foreseen problem might be bag wear against the control arm, but you really have to think how often you'll be draggin your truck around with no air in it, you'll kill your tires with negative camber before those bags and even then those bags are made to take a punishment!!! Anyone else have anything to add, maybe I missed something!! Thanks Guys Jared
