Front Air Bags on a 66

[GGinferno]

Hey guys new to site and i want to bag the front and need some ideas and some pics-the rear is all ready bagged . thanks

[justbad]

If your rear has airbags then you should know the drill .The front while a lil more involved are as simple as a spring change,the adapter plates are avalible all over the place. My only segestion is to run good shocks ,a set from a 63-82 vette will work insted of a drop shock and you will have a greater selection.you should also replace your ball joints and any other high wear items while your front end is apart Ive seen ball joints and complete tie rod end sets for as low a 90 bucks and a set of kyb gas adjust are about 40 bucks apiece.you will thank me latter.

Are you looking for something simple and budget oriented? The most economical route is a set of upper plates and lower bag cups. The upper plates bolt on to your factory crossmember, and the lower cups bolt to the bottom of the bag, and then set in the lower control arm's spring pocket. If you're looking for the more expensive route, you can purchase some cnew control arms that are set-up for an air bag.

Here is a 2.5 drop spindle with Slam Specialties Bags with a 3 inch cup.

I bought my 66 bagged. But im redoing the whole set up. im tearing it apart right now. I pulled the motor out today and it goes to the machine shop tomarrow. Then i start tearing apart the front end. I bought new lower arms made for bags, and new bags from airbagit.com. But like a slacker, i forgot to take any pics today. i will take a few as the project progresses.

awesome truck it is nice to see a long bed layed out!!!!!

[GGinferno]

Thanks for the info guys and pics guys..just wanted to see the front set up.

[kevenahus]

The air bag system you guys are using is it on the original chassis? What are some good web sites to purchase airbag systems?

[jonathan-m]

GG, not to thread jack here.. but do you have any other pics of your truck? that paint job looks sweet.

You may want to look around, there are vendors on this site, but I used Suicide Doors for the brackets and bags.

[kevenahus]

So how much did your air system run you? I looked at ridetech.com and their full system runs about $5,300. I’m not sure I want to spend that much. If they all run that much I might go with the air shocks all around. What ya think about air shocks?

[protrash64]

GG....you can cut at least a 1/2'' off that lower cup before installing it. I did with no issues and gets a little lower in the front. Skip it if you need hite...your truck is lookin' low to begin with.

There are lots of other ways to go that are much less money! Shoot me a PM and I will help you figure out the best route to take with your budget!

i'm going though airbagit.com for the supplies to rebuild my front end. I should have my shipment in tomarrow. I will post a comment on the quality of the goods. New lower control arms (complete), new 2600 air bags, new 4 way air valve system, and a 1 way air check valve, with shipping ran me $1002.00. I've been on the phone and email them several times now and have great responces.

I'd like to see the airbags and hear what you think about them. I went with slam specialties on my '99 chevy because it was the popular thing to do. I have heard conflicting things about those dominators and would like to see what you have to say. 1/2 price is a pretty sweet way to get your truck down.

What i need for the truck is height...my rockers hit! some im trying to just get the extra lift..i want to arms for it but they are expensive! Does any one know were i can pick some up for cheap?

[Dustin07]

what would arms do? What type of bags do you have and what is their min and max size when aired out and fully inflated? Are they bags fully compressed when laid out? that may be where you are losing lift. I think Slam 7's have like 7-8" of lift which should be more than enough for anything to get off the ground safely.

[threeonthetree]

sweet truck!

[xratt]

Yeah what ever happened with this truck? Mines finally on the road. Low as hell. Hit my tubular lower a-arms on every thing. But I love how low it sits. Love my 2600 bags in the front. Now I want some more for the back. But it will have to wait.
