60-62 rear bag mounting

[62-One-Ton]

Ive come to the conclusion there arent any members laying frame with a 60-62. Mines getting close only 1.5" to go. Im building new trailing arms to get the rest.

The belly will touch before rails. I won't even come close at 8-11 inches to go in the rear. The front might with the PorterBuilt crossmember but not cutting up truck.

Fixing the belly is easy. Cut off the bottom and plate it up. My belly is less then 1/8" from touching now.

i have been watching this post for some time now as i was curious as how other 60-62 owners mounted the rear bags. My setup involves bags over axle and decided that i needed a pretty large cup to get some height back. with no cup, i'm pretty sure it will lay frame. with a 3 inch cup (used as a spacer), i would get the frame somewhere between 5 to 7 inches off the ground. not sure how it rides yet as i am still putting pieces together.

this pic its hard to tell how low it will go because the bumper hits a step in the back of my garage (dont mind the mess).


here is an older pic of the rear.

It looks like you have both sides plumbed to a single line.
One thing I read in these forums is don't plumb the two bags to the same line, but have a separate line to each bag.
The reason was if both bags share the same line, and you're going around a corner, air will move from one bag to the other.
The bag with the load will just push air through the line to the other bag and you'll have a terrible lean.

I made that mistake on my 65 for both front and rear bags.. The air will move from side to side.. When I parked that truck, I would level it out by pushing up on the top of the drivers door and it would be level.

Anyone else have pics or info to share on 60-62 rear air ride setups?
