Air bagging a 68'c10 any help would be great

I am getting ready to order an accuair kit and a set of dominator bags. Stock front controls arms and stock trailing arms. I have seen guys do a drop spindle in front with air bags but what do you do in the rear? Lowering block plus bag? Thanks in advance for any help

Use a 2600 series bag in the back also.
Add a bolt-in c-notch and a 2" lowering block.

Ok sounds good. Does anyone sell the formed front inner fender panels I see a lot of air ride trucks running? They almost look like half a 55 gallon drum!!lol

Bags bolted in place of coils in the rear and lowering blocks. In the front you will need drop spindles if you want it to go low. Good choice on the Accuair. I have the eLevel and wouldn't trade it for anything.
