BTW did you ask to have a double bellowed air bag in the bag? My understanding was thatn type of bag was used for hauling it's almost to much for the back end of our trucks, versus just a single sleeved bag that is much softer and really on handles the hieght of the vehicle.

Just curious

Sleeve bags work when mounted directly to the rear end housing.

Double convoluted bags work well in a truck arm application because the leverage is increased because they're located further forward of the rear end vs when the bag is mounted directly to the rear end housing. The dbl convoluted bag is the standard bag spec'd for these truck arm set-ups.

Makes more sense with the amount of leverage these arms have..

Thanks

Well obviously scoti knows more than me. This is my first experience with bags, I've used air shocks before but not bags.

This kit it the Level 3 kit from ridetech, as listed on their website with no modifications.

Awesome, clean and well thought out work man!
Those CPP rear disk setups look well made. Any install issues?
BTW what ever happened with that BOSS front wheel issue? I know alot of guys on here have talked about how the BOSS 338's have fitting issues with the larger 1 1/4" rotors and wont fit over the hub unless you have it machined down.

For your engine I see that you used CPP perches...are those the motor mounts and adapter plates they sell as well? Kinda like a complete kit?

What headers are you thinking of running?

Keep up the great work and keep the pics coming!

**66ChevyMax** · 12-21-2011, 03:56 PM

Thanks custom, drivers side rear disc went on with no issues, I had to persuade the bracket on the passenger side a little. Outside pad was way too tight.

As for the BOSS problem, there is apparently two versions of this wheel out there. The first pic on left is the one that fits, the second does not. Notice the difference in the center bore and the cap mounts completely different as well.

CCP mounts and perches work well and come as a kit. They do create header problems. I tried some BBK headers for a camaro but no luck (pic below) sanderson headers has one (shorty) that looks promising. Talked to Doug Thorley Headers they say they will have one in about 6 weeks?

Just a thought, have you looked at a 99-07 4.8-5.3 long tube truck header? My AEM longtubes look as if they might fit. Check out the coated pacesetters too, inexpensive and decent. Not sure if you dont care if you have longtubes or not but, on these LS motors the longtubes are definately the way to go for the power. Shorties have been proven to be worthless unless its a fitmant issue and you dont have a choice. BTW Very nice work. Keep it up.

Here is a link to some: 6.0 headers

jb1016 · 12-22-2011, 10:08 PM

Wow, definitely subbed for this build. Very nice.

**66ChevyMax** · 12-22-2011, 10:40 PM

66ChevyMax, I used the Sanderson Shorties, CSLS1 is the part number, I am very pleased with them.

**66ChevyMax** · 12-21-2011, 07:53 PM

Are you using the CPP Perch's? I was looking at the LS10. Do you have any pics?
