Pics of bagged trucks with nothing else done - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone have pics of how low you can go, just with air bags in a 67-72? By this I mean now drop spindles or anything else.

Thanks

Captkaos did one of his rigs with just bags. :read:

It wont be enough to make you happy!!

PrimeredThunder · 12-05-2003, 02:16 PM

Heres my truck-
No C-Notch or drop spindles...just bags
275-60-15 in back and 235-60-15 in front

phantom dually · 12-05-2003, 11:55 PM

No offense but you dont really need bags if you are not going to go lower than that!!

dropped_71chevy · 12-06-2003, 04:17 AM

I wouldn't want to drive something that low around town. I think it's a good idea to bag even if it is just that low

r0lf- · 12-06-2003, 01:22 PM

That looks about even to a 4/6. That sucker needs some spindles to lay out!

jcab · 12-06-2003, 04:34 PM

Thanks guys. PrimeredThunder, that pic is perfect.

phantom dually, Yeah I would need bags, because with just that drop, I wouldn't be able to get up my driveway without dragging.

Spindles and c notch may come later, but I just wanted an idea about the bags only.

thanks again

PrimeredThunder · 12-06-2003, 07:36 PM

I do plan on going lower after the first of the year. However, being I'm on a high-school budget, it has to be done slowly. My final goal is to notch it and get spindles, add 4 more valves, and some 20's by spring 2005 for graduation.
Heres a pespective of the height of the truck. This pic was taken at school next to a 96' Chevy 4x4 with about an 8" lift and 3" body-lift on 40's.

dropped_71chevy · 12-07-2003, 12:37 AM

thats a damn nice truck primeredthunder. You must have one hell of a budget. I'm in high school too but my truck doesn't look anything like that. its still sittin way too high with big ol camper mirrors

71-longbed · 12-07-2003, 01:03 AM

lookin good kenny ... when did you get it road worthy??

peace

**N2TRUX** · 12-07-2003, 01:16 PM

PrimeredThunder, Your truck looks great like it is. Yes, I would lower it more when I could, but in the meantime you should be proud to roll that ride. It is sweeeeet....

Doorlayin68 · 12-08-2003, 06:27 AM

Kenny ~ It's Travis from XA.. were you still lookin for an old skool mini? Got a hilux $600. By the way.. you should just bring your truck up to Tommy's house and we'll body drop it.

Slammed67 · 12-08-2003, 02:52 PM

That is about how high mine sits at ride height and I can drop it about another 3" or so (with spindles/c-notch/modified cross member).

PrimeredThunder · 12-08-2003, 03:08 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys, and I can honestly say that the truck is a product of my own personal hardwork and funds, not a free ride from my parents.

I dont think I want to body-drop this truck, because its a solid rig that i dont want to cut up. I would always like to have the option of returning it to static if I so desired some day.

I got the truck road worthy about a month ago, A buddy and myself spent from about 12:00 midnite to 6 or so in the morning buttoning everything back up. So I could take it to the funeral for my good friend who died in an accident in his 70' Chevelle and never got to see my truck running...good motivation to get off your butt and finish something for a purpose.

You could get the raised steering crossmember to get it lower without bd'ing.

Iron-Butt · 12-08-2003, 04:50 PM

Nice truck.
