I would also like to see some pics. I have future plans of doing this, need to learn more about it first....

I would love to see pics of all the diff't lowered suspension setups people are using and know what they are .... That's one of the posts I see more of than anything else - "show me pictures of your ride height and tell me what size rims and tires you have and how you lowered your ride".

This weekend I'm in the process of converting my ladder bar coil-overs to air bag. '67 SWB. There's about a 2" notch in the chassis.(Bought the truck, didn't build it). Since the bed is off, I'll try to shoot some pics and attempt to down load them here. It's not terribly difficult if you can weld or have a buddy that can weld.

Slammed66 · 03-25-2005, 03:38 PM

I've allready done a 2.5 inch notch , and now its not enough I need a step notch and I know there are alot of strength issues, Id like to see some and get some ponters so it looks right and works right this is mine now

fastbagged68 · 03-25-2005, 03:54 PM

Here is a pic of mine before I installed it. It is 2x4 square tubing.....250 wall. Pretty heavy... I boxed the frame from the front frame horns to the back fuel cell.

Here's some pics that I found on the net a while ago... It was built by "Hot Rods by Glen." I'm pretty sure those are 20's on the back. Just to give an idea...

Z16 · 03-26-2005, 12:07 AM

Wow is that suspension well done

72MARIO · 03-26-2005, 12:59 AM
