Rear bags, No Notch (yet) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

garageghoule · 04-04-2005, 05:02 AM

If I have four inch drop springs in the rear now, and I do manual fill Firestone 2600's with no notch how much more of a drop can I get at ridehight? Ill take care of the shocks and panhard bar. I’m only doing manual fill and no notch in the interest of money. (I’m trying to finance my truck and tattooing at the same time.)

Thanks

I have a 6" static drop (4" springs and 2" blocks) That is about as low as you can go without c-notching.

Good luck, Rg

Here is a pic of my sons truck. 8" static drop. 6 inch springs and 2 inch blocks. With a bolt in c-notch from CPP (112.00 delivered)the top of the rear axle sits just about where the bottom of the frame was. Maybe into the frame just a bit. I am doing the same thing (static drop 2600 air bags) on my 2wd Blazer except I am doing all four corners. I am doing a notch just to be safe. I dont want to tear it all apart and find out I need to order one. I am thinking I might have to have the pass side notch modified as there is probably going to be interference issues with the relocated trac bar mounting hardware. I am doing this next week so I will post pictures as I go.

Here's a pic of mine with the bolt in c-notch from CPP, with the bumpstops installed. The pumkin is just barly touching the bed floor.
