I installed the C-Notch on both sides. The only clearance issue I had was the track arm hitting the frame on the right side. I simply moved the track arm bracket underneath the lowering block instead of on top of it and presto!

With the C-notch installed I made a template to locate the holes needed to mount the bags.

Now I am trying to figure out where I want to mount the compresor and valves.:confused:

Looks Good! That is a tall bumpstop in your notch, is that the one that came with it? The reason I ask is that my notch came with a much shorter one. It might could get you another inch closer to the dirt. :c2:

Hey..... did I see you driving to Home Depot on Saturday? I noticed a white 67~68 that had ralleys & was lowered. I was behind it driving up HWY66 & then it pulled into HD so I didn't get a better look.

Yep, that was me. My last trip with a static drop. I saw you pulling out of O'reillys. Your truck is sweeeet!

Yeah, these are just some I already had. I didn't get any with the C-notch for some reason. I think I will try to get some shorter ones and use these on the front. Good Eye!

Where have you guys bought c-notches that came with short bumpstops? I'm going to be buying a notch sometime in the next few weeks (if all goes as planned), and was going to buy from CPP, but not if I can get one with proper bumpstops someplace else. Sorry to hijack the thread, just want to ask while it's on topic!

Thanks. That was great.:)

I got my c-notch kit from CCP and it came with short bumpstops. My ART rear airbag kit also came with a set of short bumpstops.

Rob

TW - bumpstops will be headed your way tomorrow.

How is the load carrying capacity of airbag systems such as the one you're installing on your truck (looks awesome by the way!)? Is it merely a factor of the airbags? Compressor/airtank size? No difference?

Keep the build going, it is looking great.

I stold N2Billet's idea for compressor placement. Hope he doesn't mind.

I assume that SMC valves can be mounted in any position, does anyone know otherwise before I drill a bunch of holes?:confused:

He won't mind, but you will. That ViAir compressor is a noisy mofo. It's about 10x louder than the Thompson compressors n2billet installed.


If I were you I would consider mounting it at the rear. Here's mine....

This is looking great, question for you guys, since I hope to do my 2wd
blazer this year, where do you reccomend putting the air tank or tanks?

wink_tim 01-11-2006 09:12 PM

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
 
Should be an easy switch if it drives me crazy. Thanks for the heads up!

I see alot of guys with blazers put them behind the back seat, what about two small tanks outside the frame like N2Billet's?
