educate me on bagging the front of a 72 ... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know how the rear gets bagged, pretty simple, but how do you bag the front...with "cups".? Any pics of how it's done? Thanks for the help,
SC

you need a spacer cup for the lower portion of the bag that rests in the lower control arm. The upper mount is simply a plate that covers the hole in the frame where the regular spring would go. I believe mine is 1/4" plate. Later, FCG

Thanks FCG. Next question is where can I get the cups and top plate? Does anyone have a pic they can post of a front bagged aet-up? Thanks for the help, SC

Don't mean to jump on your post..Anybody have a link for the best place to get airbags and all the necessary parts to get it going? I would also like to buy a fabrication manual for an airride system.

I got a set of brackets/cups from http://www.*****************/ He doesn't have them listed on his website, but he sells them for the 67-72. Mine were $59.99.

I'm not done yet, so I probably can't help with the pic depending on what exactly you wanted a pic of. The brackets themselves? Or the whole thing assembled?

Jason can hook you up. I had no idea he had anything for 67-72. I guess I should have asked. I like Jason No-BS approach to doing business.

Here is some info I posted on the suspension board that might also be helpful to those wanting to install an air ride system. They are air ride system diagrams that show you the various components needed. There are many ways to do it, but these show the basics.

Check out the posts on the suspension board. All of these questions are answered (and then some!) on that board. It's like a whole other culture there. Some serious guru's with some great advice.
