Airbags

Looking at different airbag kits for my 86 shortbed but have some questions...without notching rear and drop spindles, how much of a drop can I expect with 15's and a slight lowpro tire

This is with a normal flip kit type c-notch, drop spindles with cups, plates an bags in place of springs up front. The crossmember is like 1-1.5 off the ground.

Oh an you gotta ditch the inner fenders an cut on the inside structure of the fender some.

I could be super wrong, and Im sure someone will correct me, but I think you'll only get 4" before cutting anything, 5" you'll need to cut the bed supports, and anything lower, you'll need to c notch.

Use for phone for calls, text and photos. And use speaker phone at all times. Do not carry your phone in your pocket.
Live long, prosper, and do huge BBC burnouts.

Thanks! This is my notch, it looks a little different because some of the other suspension parts key off it but as far as cutting its no more than a regular c-notch you'd do for a flip kit.

Is the bottom of the airbag just sitting in that pocket? If it's fixed to the trailing rod it will restrict suspension droop and your inside tire will burn rubber around every corner.
You shop is well lit... and a mess.

Its bolted to the arm, pretty much the standard practice for trailing arms on air as far as I know. Its just a cruiser but I do drive it aggressively every so often and I've never had that problem.

Like most everyone no matter how big the shop I have to much stuff. I'm just glad I have somewhere inside to work on it out of the elements.

That’s why he bitches at every one he don’t have one. So he thinks we all abuse them and take them for granted.
