Question Air Bag Question..

I'm lowering my 69 with ART Cool Ride Kit. Air Tech says they get a 3-4" drop with this kit. I also have a 3" drop spindle in the front, the rear is C notched. is anyone running blocks in the rear to keep things equal?

Re: Air Bag Question..

I have a 2" block on my blazer.
I like them mainly to keep the ride height a little lower.

I also have a 1" snubber in the center of the c-notch to keep the rearend from touching the bed floor.

Thanks for the quick reply!!
What about the pinion angle? With the previous static set up I ran tapered blocks and that appeared to move the axle forward. Should I machine them flat?
