Re: Air Ride For Dummies
With the C-notch installed I made a template to locate the holes needed to mount the bags.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
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.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
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.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
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!

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
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.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
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.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
I assume that SMC valves can be mounted in any position, does anyone know otherwise before I drill a bunch of holes?

Should be an easy switch if it drives me crazy. Thanks for the heads up!

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
I think they would have to be some very thin tanks to put them under the floorboards on a 72, the 73 and later I think have a lot more space.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
Hey luv, take off the left and right rocker box covers and try to figure out a way to slip the tanks in the holes if they will fit and run the air lines out the back cover. I dont know, just a thought.

You can mount the tanks for your Blazer in the rear...
