Gave my rear set up a quick spray to protect from the elements since I got some free paint from a buddy

Are you happy with the amount of lift you get in the rear? If you moved your bag location forward onto the trailing arms (ahead of the axle) you would get much better lift and ride quality because of being able to operate with less air pressure in the bags. I suspect in order to get enough lift you have to run a lot of PSI in the rear which makes them ride like a Conastoga wagon.

ya i like the way it rides, i get 13" of lift out of the bags if i need it.
i cruise with appraox 20psi in the rear and approx 55 in the front

i concidered running the bags up front on the controle arms for the extra lift but didnt really need it.
i know there is alot more factors with the bags mounted near or on axle but it still drives like a caddy.
thank you for the advise tho

iv had my fair share of bag jobs, but this is the chance i finally had to bag my own c10 so some things im fairly new too.

i know allot of you guys have done a stock floor bodydrop but i want to get lower.

can you guys hook me up with some pics of some 67-72 body drops, im thinking like 4"

iv done several yotas but it seems like a different process due to size and frame design

[vegadesign]

since ill have time to do it in a couple hours im going to do the stock floor body drop and z the front frame horns till i can find the time to do a full body drop

this will only give me about an inch but thats one inch more that im closer to the ground
