Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
is that bag twisted in the third pic? Looks like it has ripples in it.

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
Its because the bottom hole needed relocated like Nathan posted, all is well now.

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
OK, I was assuming the two issues were related but just wanted to ask anyway.

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
I've got a suggestion for the guys using Strong Arms. I had a problem with the lower shock mount hitting stuff even at ride height (I've got bags and 2 1/2 dopped spindles). So I ordered a couple of lower shock mounts from ART and flipped them over. I'm not sure if this will be a problem with Nathan's crossmember or not, but it will be easier now, than after you bolt everything together.

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
Two questions... 1) are you going to lop off the original (bottom) bracket?, and 2) how close is the new bracket to the bag when deflated?

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
HartRod-
Funny you posted this up... I received a call from Air Ride last week informing me of their design change on the lower arm... they're flipping the shock mount from the bottom of the arm to the top... just like you've done. You were not alone in your clearance issues. I should be receiving a set of lower arms shortly so I can build upper shock mounts (that will work with their new design) for the Dropmember kit.

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
It's finally on the ground. Rob thanks for the relocation of the shock bracket idea. Im gonna steal your idea and order those brackets too. Here is a few shots of it. These are my back wheels on the front since my fronts havent been narrowed yet. Specs are 29" tires, 2.5" drop spindles, Re7 bags and the drop member kit. Its about 1/2" off the ground with some weight on the front end, so i shouldnt have much trouble with some 27" tires up front.

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
What I understood is that they were going to go with a different upper shock mount and keep the same shock. I can find out for sure and ler you know... or maybe one of the guys from Air Ride will chime in.

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
we are going to be using the same shock so you don't loose any travel, but we are making a different bolt on upper mount to compensate for the upward movement . it should be available in a couple of weeks

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
Excellent! You could park an 18-wheeler between the mount and the bag. Oh, and re ART's the we've never had a problem with that... any chance this came from the mouth of Jason?

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
Hey Brandon! Just curious on how much lift you are getting in the front because on how far the bag is mounted towards the spindel. Thanks Josh
PS. Your truck is looking sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Firestones are getting just under 8 inches of travel. We'll see how much Brandon gets with his Slams.

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
6 lugs rock! Bags do not hit the steering stop on the control arm, the pic makes it look closer than it actually is. Id guess about a 1/2" gap when the truck is sitting on the bumpstops in the bags. Only a few more hours till i can run home and try these fittings out and get some lift pics. Thanks for the kind words, cant wait to tear it all down and paint and powdercoat everything.

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
And we have lift! There is no weight over the front but at 75psi I am getting about 8.5" of lift. No measuring tape in these but i think you will get the idea.

Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
Your truck is looking awesome. I can't wait until I'm at the point you are. Is your bag rubbing on your a-arm in the second pic? Do you have a cup underneath it?
