Re: Picture request! how low with bags and NO Drop crossmember

I don't have any pics yet since I'm not finished w/ the backend, but it won't lay level because the front will hit first if the back is lowered enough to lay out on the ground. Otherwise if it's just a small notch then you will have a bit of a rake and lay on the lower control arms

Re: Picture request! how low with bags and NO Drop crossmember

Mine, no cross member mods, and the cross member can still go down (3" off the ground) I'm using plates upper and lower.

Rear is frame on axle, no c-notch (yet....)

Re: Picture request! how low with bags and NO Drop crossmember

I am running GMCPauls drop spindles and 6 lug manual disk brake swap. Real quality kit.

I do plan on redoing the suspension to get it to lay frame, but I do like how she sits now, nice hot rod flair. An added bonus, if your compressor goes out and you're not on the ground, you can drive home at 2am idling in 1st gear. Speaking of which, I did not have luck with AIM industries/airbagit.com. They're the reason I had to idle home twice, thankfully I was close to home. The good that came out of it is that I"m going to redo my system ($$$ out the window) and do more mods that will let me lay frame.

Sorry about the babel, but I do recommend *****************, my current (working 3x as long as priors from AIM) compressor is from them and my next setup will be from them next winter.
