Wow, if I had the money (and a coil frame!) I'd be all over that deal. Unfortunately money is tight and I don't have a frame to work with. I'll definately be in contact with you in the future though!!

Sounds reasonable.

Does the kit come with brackets and such? My next question is can I put the rear kit on, and then later add c-notch and get full rear drop into C-notch? What's the actual size of the internal orphasises(sp) on the valves

Also I've been following and keeping alot of mag articals on bagging 62-72s and all show you must do some modifications to the steering stops on the lower a-arms. Can you elaberate on this?

Dropt72Shortbed · 09-19-2002, 02:43 AM

what type of valves and what type of compressor?

Dropt72Shortbed · 09-19-2002, 02:44 AM

oh and lastly, is this stuffing coming through AIM?

nate68 · 09-19-2002, 02:51 AM

When you dump the air out of the bags, the tie rod assembly will run into the steering stop. You'll need to take the rubber AND the actual steel perch off. The perch is spot welded on. I recommend you use a grinder all the way around the mounting flange just enough to get to metal... so you can see the low spots, which are the welds.

You'll probably want to put some kind of smaller stop back in place to prevent clocking the suspension too far (as you can actually get the inner tie rods high-centered on the center link). I chose not to, and just have a good feel for what my turning radius is.

Sorry everybody, I was sick yesterday and didn't get on the computer at all.
Alvin, I do have bag mounts for the leaf trucks too, a little more expensive, but I got em.
Ruemster, Yes it includes front brackets, you don't need brackets in the rear. The valves are 3/8" orifice, and I never modified my steering stops. I did however have to eliminate the bump stops completly to get full drop.
Dropt72shortbed, The valves are 3/8" 3 position spool valves rated to 175 psi, the saem valves have been on my truck for years now. Yes I am a CHASSIS TECH authorized dealer, I have never hidden that. I will stand behind the products 100%.This paticular kit is from them, but if your are interested in other brands I have access to them also, such as slam specialties bags ect.

Thanks Casey
