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!

wink_tim · 01-10-2006, 06:29 PM

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

wink_tim · 01-10-2006, 06:31 PM

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

wink_tim · 01-10-2006, 06:34 PM

Getting an idea of how it will look aired out.

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-10-2006, 06:36 PM

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, keep us posted

project76 · 01-10-2006, 06:38 PM

nice looking work. She will be back on the road in no time.

smbrouss70 · 01-10-2006, 07:57 PM

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.

SCOTI · 01-10-2006, 08:48 PM

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!

Wink Tim,

Send me your address. I have a couple of spare ones.

Cool, I sent you a P.M.

Alvin · 01-10-2006, 11:19 PM

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.

**Hart_Rod** · 01-10-2006, 11:28 PM

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.

wink_tim · 01-10-2006, 11:34 PM

Thanks Hart_Rob, I owe you one.

**N2TRUX** · 01-11-2006, 12:42 AM

Oooooh Noooo Mr. Bill

gferris5 · 01-11-2006, 02:44 AM

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.

**Hart_Rod** · 01-11-2006, 09:39 AM

Your welcome. Keep pics coming.

Rob

wink_tim · 01-11-2006, 09:03 PM

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

wink_tim · 01-11-2006, 09:05 PM

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

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....

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-11-2006, 09:10 PM

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

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?
