Is this everything I need to bag my 75?

[TIMSPEED]

Aside from a stepnotch (which I'll have made)
Is this a complete parts list?

1.) ARF11800 "Cool Ride" Kit for 73-87 C10 = $524

2.) ARS14500 Parallel 4-Link with Weld-On Bag Mounts = $799

3.) ARC4700 "BIG RED" Compressor System = $1495


So, for all the parts it would be something like $2818 + Tax and Shipping and such...right? Seems like it would also be a pretty straight forward install job too...

That's it and I'd suggest you mount those outside the frame because we tried mounting mine inbetween the rails and the mounts are too wide and get into the differential and you're not supposed to weld to it since it's cast.

There ya go! That's everything you need. I would suggest a couple of things to consider though.

I'm not sure what air tank that is, but it looks like either a 3 or 7 gallon because of the shape. I suggest two 5 gallon tanks instead. The 5 gallon tanks are longer, but not as big around. They hide better if you install them under the truck. Since you are using a 4 link, you should be able to mount them outside the frame rails behind the axle.

I would also delete the shocks from the kit. If there is a place that they compromise quality in the kit, it's the shocks. Get a credit, and buy your own....

N2TRUX---That is a 5-gallon air tank.

TIMSPEED---This setup looks familiar! Including the PST front-end kit and DJM spindles we both have. I would spend the extra $300 for the ARC4800 BIGRed Max compressor system (This is what I have). You will want the second compressor, air tank, and 1/2" line/fittings. Shoot, the Viar 400 cost $279 alone through ART!

Hmmm? BaggedC10 They must have changed the dimensions of the 5 gallon tank. Mine are from an old kit I bought off a guy that he never used. It was when the Ride Pro was the biggest system ART had.

TIMSPEED he is right about the upgrade. That wasn't an option when I bought the kit for my 77. The extra compressor and air tank make that a pretty decent deal alone....

How long are the bars on that 4-link kit?
Will you have to relocate your fuel tank?

N2TRUX, what shocks are you using?

It's the same 4 link you have it's just got a different part #. Yes you can keep the tanks.

When I bought mine, I was told that there was 30" bar option and 20" bar option. With the 20" bar you would not have to relocate the fuel tank. I was just wondering if they told him that too.
Not sure if this is true or not, but I had to relocate my tank. I asked for the 30" bars, but I never did measure them to check.

Well I didn't relocate the tanks on the 83 so I'm guessing I got the 20 but I never measured the bars either as ART set the length before sending them to me and the pinion was dead on.

what would be the advantage of the longer ones? Ride quality? You wouldn't gain more or less lift as the bags are not mounted to the 4 link like a 2 link right? Just curious as i am ordering mine soon.

I guess I over looked this question. I have my Blazer, and my 77 pictured so I'm not sure which one you are asking me about
