Help Please
I'm way new to this so any help or comments appreciated.
I have some 5813 air-lift bags that were given to me. I "THINK" what I want to do is install them in the stock spring location as I've seen on other threads. But my bags don't have a center bolt hole to attach through the stock hole in the arms. Do I need to fab something get new bags or ? This truck is a 69 long fleet by the way. Also I "THINK" I need the CPP C notch and Center crossmember. I have the adjustable locater. Does the frame bracket need to be modified ? With this set-up how much drop can I expect for just toolin around and not banging the axle into the frame ? What about the front ? How much drop to match the rear and maintain ride quality ? Oh yea, what pinion angle do I need ? Told you I was ignorant. Any help is appreciated. |

Re: Help Please
Well since I asked this question I've received another set of bags.
These are Firestone 224c and they have a hole in the center on one end. It's nice to have freinds. I still need some answers and education. |

Re: Help Please
The 5813 is a 2500# bag.
I make a bracket that has flush mounted hardware and a long stud to drop in the t/a. If you want to ride low, install a notch, your neck/and back will love it. If you run drop spindles and bags depending on your tire height it will darn near lay out, and get a good low ride quality. We stock most parts LMK if I can help |
