Re: Rear bag mounting pics please

the panhard bar hits the frame way before the axle bottoms out in the c-notch, you could get by without it but they are not that expensive.

Re: Rear bag mounting pics please

I have Re7'z IIRC and I run mine about 70 psi. on my 72 GMC 1500 LWB. I have 1/2" line with comp's on at 140 and off at 160, I think.

Re: Rear bag mounting pics please

I never even bothered putting a gauge on my bags. I just aired them up to ride height, more or less, and drove.

Re: Rear bag mounting pics please

So would i be correct saying that sleeve style bags are better for over the axle mounting and that double conv. bags are good for mounting on trailing arms?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Rear bag mounting pics please

I am gathering parts up to do a four link with phb and bags on my c10. Is there any way to help determine how tall the bags will be with and what psi they will need for good ride quality?
