Rear bag brackets

My setup right now is
1) PB C-notch
2) PB 3 inch drop tubular trailing arms

Switching over to air bags from coil springs. What I'm wondering is will I still get plenty of drop with the bags mounted in the brackets then to the frame since I have the c notch and 3 inch blocks.
Or would it be better to drill the holes in the frame and mount them straight up to the frame..

Thanks. Kevin

Re: Rear bag brackets

Kevin,... Your air bag compressed is about 3" tall.
Stick a 3" block of wood (or the bag if you have them) in place and see how far it airs out.
I think you will fine with the upper bag brackets and your PB trailing arms.

Re: Rear bag brackets

Thanks Keith never even thought of just sitting the bag in there. Sometime just the most simple things work best lol and sometimes I over think it lol
