Use 1-1.5" (15" dia wheels) or 2" (17"+ dia wheels) rear lowering blocks. CPP offers 1, 1.5, & 2" blocks or make some 2" units yourself (see the FAQ truck-tech section for the 'how-to').
Add 2 6" dia bags (Firestones or Slam Specialties work well). They can be bolted directly to the frame w/some drilling (serious drilling) or 'hats' can be made so they bolt right in place of the previous coils.
Add some DOT .250" airline & 2 schrader valves & you have a bare-bones, manual fill rear bag system.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
