Bags and shock absorbers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm new to the truck scene and at this point buying parts for a custom rebuild.
I have an S10 frame that I want to use for my 1950 GMC, I also want to lay the fenders to the ground with air bags. The bags I want to use are RE7's but I'm not sure if I need shock absorbers as well??
Please advise, Edwin

Shocks will def. make for a better ride. Bags without shocks will bounce a lot. My son is into the air ride on s10's and has had them both ways, he will only go with shocks now.

Is it possible to send me some pics with the shock absorber location? I defenately cannot go without any because the speedbumps in the Dutch roads.
