would like to see aired up pics.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

wannabeburbowner · 03-24-2005, 10:34 PM

I always see pics of trucks aired out, but not many of them aired up..at ride height. I have plans of putting bags on my truck with 2 1/2" drop spindles and 2" blocks out back. Does anybody have this set-up?? How low will this go and what will the ride height be?? So please post some pics of your trucks at ride height and with it aired out to see the full movement of the truck. Thanks for all the help that you guys of given me, I really appreciate it...this is the greatest board that I have been on.

Later,

Travis

Mine at ride height......

Slammed....... Front: 2.5" spindles, modified cross member. Rear: bolt-on c-notch with axle resting on notch (rubber bumper removed from notch).

Jason,

What size wheels and tires are thoughs?? You are running no blocks in the back and have a dropped front crossmember?? Truck sits just right...

phantom dually · 03-26-2005, 03:21 PM

When running bags you really dont need a set of blocks

Rollie396 · 03-28-2005, 12:42 AM

I just built my c notch this weekend and,from what I can see,if you use bags,there won't be much room for blocks.My notch is a hair deeper than 2.5" and the axle will sit about 3/4" from to top of the notch with flat bags.

wannabeburbowner · 03-28-2005, 02:01 AM

Alright, sounds good. I am new to this stuff. I am planning on using just 2" blocks to level out the truck for now untill I get the money for an airbag set-up. Just figured I would use the blocks with bags then, guess not now. How big of a notch can you get without cutting any holes in the bed??

Thanks,

Travis

Rollie396 · 03-28-2005, 08:56 PM

With the notch I did the top of the dif pokes just slightly above the original crossmember that the shocks mount to.Here is what the notch looks like,I didn't get a pic with the axle up in the notch yet,but I will the next time I go home.I don't think I'd want to notch too much deeper than that without building a step.
