air over leaf questions

I have been thinking alot about how I want to lower my Blazer lately. I want to do a flip and c notch in the back--But want to set it up so that I can do a helper air over leaf if I need to.
Really I just need someone to point me in the right direction. I'm sure there are a few good write-ups that are full of info on here, but didn't turn up in my search.
Thanks in advance

Here's pics of my Blazer. It's set up with a four link.

That's an old ART set up. It was a "triangulated" 4 link that didn't work as well I would have liked. It has been modified since those pics and "Sumday" it will be a true 4 link with a track bar.

Thanks Ken..

I have been looking for a 4 link, but I can not find anything for a blazer, so I may just make something out of a c10 kit.

Re: air over leaf questions

That is an older style that they no longer offer. I would look at what the C-10 kits offer and mod from there.

Re: air over leaf questions

Good Stuff. Much appreciated.
I just wanted to see a setup--before I start ordering drop stuff. Make sure I didn't have to make any provisions while doing the flip and c notch for the AOL. It looks simple enough.
