My suburban is to low in the front!!!!!!

[Hart_Rod]

I bagged the front, 2 1/2 dropped spindles and ART strong arms. Front a-arms lay on the ground and tires hit the inner fenders, but it looks good. However the rearend is stuck up in the air like Joe Dirt's Charger!! Guess I'm going to have to C-notch the rear and add 2 1/2 blocks!! Does anyone know who makes a bolt in C-notch kit for the 67-72 suburbans? I'll try to post pictures tomorrow.

Bolt in notch wont let it lay all the way out man, if ur gonna do bolt in u wont need blocks

[Hart_Rod]

I thought I would need the blocks to get the ride height correct. Do you have pictures of yours?

ok so you have no lower cup in the front are you still using stock arms? i heard i could do it this way but im afraid of rubbing. i bought a lower plate to sit in the arm.

Coming as soon as i remove body from frame is new backhalf with traingulated 4 link!!!!! Just trying to get all the welding done on the body before i take it off frame....

Bag sits deeper in spring pocket for more drop but the arms are smoth so there isnt any probs with it. IF Customs told me bout that trick

Ok, so it's safe on aftermarket arms. I didn't see how it could work on stock arms with out rubbing.

BTW- Can you look at this and answer how your hood was done- here

So it's looking somthin like this :



I used 2.5" blocks in the rear with no notch. It rides pretty close to the bumpstops but does't seem to hit them that I can feel. I do plan to notch it, but just a small one is all it should need. There's on I've seen that has built in upper shock mounts. I'll see if I can find it. Here's what it looks like with the blocks:



Also, don't use blocks bigger than 2.5" with stock size wheel/tire combo. The arms are low enough with 2.5" (I can't go through automatic car-washes because the U-bolts/nuts drag the track). Here's a bolt-in from classic performance link

I finally took some more pics (Frizzle how do you post pics in the body of the text?).

[Hart_Rod]

New can crusher!! I belive the bumper would go to the ground if it tires weren't hitting the inner fenders (and the lower a-arms touching the ground! ).

[Sublvr72]

nice, what bag setup are you using?

[Hart_Rod]

ARTs bags and arms, ECE spindles.

nice Rob, that is some low layin shiznit there....I see you have removed the trim moulding... hopefully I will be able to get that from you in the spring.

Looks good though... what you gonna do for the azz end?

[Hart_Rod]

Corn,

No worries on the molding. Probably C-notch and Blocks.
