Need some pics of bagged trucks on stock suspension

[ozman3803]

Ok, I have a 70 swb 2 wheel drive with trailing arms. I can't seem to find any pics on search engine. I would like to see what it would look like with stock suspension bagged with rear c-notch preferably with 20 inch wheels on all fours. Links or pictures and a little about it would be great.

What do you mean by stock suspension? Are you saying no dropped spindles, or ?

[ozman3803]

ok, guess I wasn't clear. How about 2 1/2 drop spindle with stock control arms with bag in front and for the rear bags on trailing arms with a c-notch installed. "Lucy" is my ideal stance was by N2BILLET I believe, but thought it would be great to get some other pictures.

check my build for pics and some ideas and part #'s you need to drop your truck on bags

my truck is a 70 LWB and all my suspention is stock parts with a 2" C notch

[ozman3803]

cool, thanks hottrucks. I'm pretty sure I've seen your build through all the hours spent on here but I'll ck it out again for a refresher.

[Hottrucks]

Believe it or not If I had to build it again I could do the suspention in a weekend...I just had to swap out the rear bags and it took me about an hour and a half

Pic of my old truck that I sold, had air ride front control arms but everything else was stock including trailing arms. Had a regular c-notch. Rear was actually hitting the bed floor.

Here's my 2wd blazer with a " ride tech " air kit with their C Notch... I have 3" bellteck spindles on the front too. The front will lay the stock crossmember on the ground without a bumpstop..

Not sure if this helps or not but it shows the frame height

upper plates, 1 1/2 '' lower cups, 3'' drop spindles, 2 1/2'' c- notch, does push up on bottom of bed some, stock inner fenders front and rear

[Hottrucks]

I'd like to know what tire height in front I have 29" and I had to ditch the inners and I havn't even put my drop spindles in yet??

[ozman3803]

Thanks alot guys, great lookin rides! keep the pics coming.

[ozman3803]

Another question? So I'm looking at Mickey Thompson 29X15.00R20LT. My question is what would be the min backspace that I could run on say a 12 in. rim? I'll probably get a 10" rim and have is widened 2-3 in. Rim will come in a 5" backspace (looking at coy c-5's). Is this going to work? Or will I more that like have to narrow rearend?

does adding tubular front lower control arms and rear trailing arms make a difference?

Hey Man, Beautiful truck what size are those wheels on her?

[DZL1]

Heres my ride. Bagged all around. Front has 2.5 inch drop spindles, bags and CUT bag cups. Cut off an inch off of them. Might not sound like a lot but makes a big difference. Rear has bolt in c-notch, bags and NO cups, 2 inch lowering blocks. Picture is of truck aired out.

Come on Tony... Don't you mean it's my color that you "doctored up". Please give credit where credit is due.

Murgg, the color is an R/M Diamont formula that I picked from their color chips... It was inspired by the stock olive green metallic available on these trucks in the day. Tony added some pearl but from what he told me, he basically used the exact formula that I sent him.


Here's mine with a 2" drop spindle and a leaf spring rear end with an axle flip, 3 leaves removed, 1" block and c-notch. Here are a couple of pictures with the suspension "aired out".

Just so you can see both sides for comparison, here's my '69 running a 4.5/6" drop kit:
