2nd opinion?
im going to be running air ride on my 67 c10 and have been looking at the trailing arm kits from cpp and art and im wondering if the advantages of either kit is worth the money or if i would be better off just installing bags onto the stock trailing arms thanks

Re: 2nd opinion?
In a nut shell, stick with your trailing arms. Do a search, this specific question has been discussed at length. Lot of good info...

Re: 2nd opinion?
I did a forum search on "trailing arms" and got several hits.
What condition are your stock arms in? If they are rusted out and need replacing then it's worth considering aftermaket units. If they are in decent shape then the stock arms will work just fine.

Re: 2nd opinion?
i think there in pretty good shape just need to be cleaned up if i do end up using them ill probably either box them or reinforce the top and bottom just to make sure totally solid i also thought about notching them bout an inch and a half when the bag will sit so i wont have to use blocks
