Re: back half and air ride build thread

looks nice. are you using the stock trailing arms as lower links? i have been thinking about running a setup just like yours. looks like u will get pretty good lift with that...is that a 2:1 lift ratio?

Re: back half and air ride build thread

im using suicide doors super lift 4 link kit.

not sure on the lift ratio i just mounted the bags as close to the axle that i could safely... because of the angle of the frame they are a little closer to the pivot than i had originally wanted. about half way will give you good lift and good ride quality

I built the frame high enough that no c-notch is needed. the entire frame is about 9 inches higher than factory
