air over leaf, what am I missing?

[fpjr0]

hi I have been reading around, and I have decided to air bag my truck, this will be my first air bag install, but I am familiar with the system (I work and drive in a big rig?, here is what I am trying to do, please feel free to let me know what I am missing.
1. up front 2.5 drop spindles and replace springs with cups and bags truck on 20's
2. in the rear, flip kit, leave only two leafs, add a 2 inch block to make it a little lower, add a bolt on notch, and do the air sleeve type bags from leafs to frame, now,
I really dont care for having the ability to raise my height, but I would love to be able to drive almost having the axle on the frame with some air on the bags to have a good ride,since I have never had a p/u on air, do I have to install the bags right on the leaf or maybe higher or lower, I hope I am making sense, thanks in advance here is the victim truck

Here's the pics you asked for.

Thse don't show the 2" block. Also I went with 3" spindles, and we set the bump stop so it will allow the tires to roll when completely aired out.

I am also curious about this also ....Do you have any finished pictures N2TRUX ? I have an 84 swb that I would like to drop also, Although I am considering just a static drop on it as a 17 yr old girl will be driving it to school . Apologize for the thread jack

[N2TRUX]

I assume you mean pics of the height. This is aired out.

hows the ride? Do you much lift from the back?

[N2TRUX]

The ride is great. I don't have any pics that show the lift in the rear, but here's on of the front. I am able to run 70-80 PSI in front, and 50 in the rear.

thanks for the pics N2TRUX , now I just have to make up my mind on air on leaf, or big notch

[N2TRUX]

It just depends on how low you want to go. I would "love" to be a couple inches (or three) lower, but I have no desire to cut a hole in the bed.

N2TRUX
did you meant 2'' block for the rear?
also on one of the pics, I can see 3 leafs, is that how many you left on, or did you remove on more?
not trying to copy you or anything but put it much, thats the stance I have decided would want to accomplish . for now

[N2TRUX]

Feel free to copy all you want. That's why I share the info, to help others. Yes, I have a 2" block in the rear (not shown) and 2 leaves in the pack.

Of course that is about to be changed to the A.R.T. system described in my sig.

congrats on the art system.still getting the list of the things I will need, let me know when you want me to p/u all of your "no longer needed parts" lol

[N2TRUX]

Who says they are no longer needed? Just because they are no longer on "this" truck, doesn't necessarly mean they won't be used "somehwere"...
