For the air bag guys

[gringoloco]

...the bigger air lines kink when coming out of the cups and then its hard to put air in/out of the bags

You can notch the cups and drill a hole in the spring pockets to give you a straight shot at the fittings.

...it also (or so im told) adjust pinion angle slightly to bring driveshaft angle closer to stock.

The McGaughey's relocators do.

so if any of you have removed the sway bar, what can you say??

does it ride like ****?

im not sure if i know what its for but my understanding is that a sway bar keeps the truck from rolling on turns.


my sway bar almost hits the panhard but not yet so im considering taking it off

thanks,
alex

I would leave it if it is not hitting. If you do run into problems, relocate it. Removal on these heavy trucks will cause all kinds of uncontrollable body roll that will lead to all sorts of interesting handling characteristics. Best to leave it in place unless absolutely necessary.

Here are some pics of the rear cups I made..



Oh and this is as low as it will go with the factory 4 link....

Is that with the bags in or no spring at all? Any issues with sway bar hitting? I'm curious to see how those work out, you should measure the rear fender height aired out too

I'll measure it aired out in the mourning...
But out back that pic was with the very short cups and it aired out

do you still have the trailing arm? is that what it is laying on? im thinking about fabricating a new one so i can get as low as this one cus my truck is just dropped and the arm is very close to the frame and is hitting it i believe...

and this is my arm on my truck with just a drop..

my bad adam i forgot i talked to you on GMfullsize and you said you did have the rear arms still

 

[ItsAdam1]

LOL No problem, I still need to get those pics of how my front is set-up.

and yes I am still on the factory four link in the rear. I would love to get my back end as low as that blue one but I think it cut in the back. If I remember I think he was on car domain a while back.

ITS OFFICIAL IM DROPPING MINE OFF MONDAY TO FINISH THE 4LINK AND RELOCATE THE BAGS FROM UNDER THE FRAMEEEEEEE

Call me effin stoked

no more of these issues



p.s. no sway bar on the rear and one set of valves (so air can actually travel from one rear bag across to the other on hard turns) is about as bad as it can possibly get.. and imo... its not that bad.

I need to see some pics.....
Are you cutting up the inside at all? if you what are you planning to do with everything?
