You only need to cut your floors if the rear end housing is going to hit it or go into the cab farther. Since you have 24" rims, you should be able to tuck some tire with that 4 valve kit and not have to c-notch it since you aren't wanting to go all "MOB" on it and slam the shit out of it. The bags take the springs' place, you'll still have your shocks and all that. I think it'll look good.

My brother has a 68 c-10 that he notched the frame with a bolt on kit that gave the rear end 2-3" of additional travel and you can keep the stock bed floor, it won't lay frame, but he's not going for that either....

Sweet, I look forward to helping! haha
No need to 8 valves, unless it was 64 impala or something

I was waiting for you to pop in here......I'm gonna need the help

4 valves seems to be the best option for what I'm looking for.

You think you and I could put it together over a weekend

Oh I don't know, never done one before, if we don't need to notch the frame I would think we could do it. I've got everything we could possibly need. My welding skills aren't top notch, so I would have one of my welders do the welding, that way it is done by the best.

The wiring/plumbing of the system will take the longest (from what I've read). Just take your time and do a little research on your ride and find the best place to mount the tank and compressor, figure out the layout of the bag mounts and the 4-link, sketch up your own drawing of the air-line runs and wire runs (tend to make it easier to read than the actual instructions, but base these from the instructions). Thorough planning is key to a smooth install, you don't plan anything and you'll end up fighting it.

It should all work pretty nice. You should be able to tuck some tire, hell Titanium tucked a little tire with his 3/5 drop in the beginning but raised his due to tire rub.....I'm thinking Max would tuck tire with those 24" rims....either way, it should look pretty nice, and if you set it all up right, you should have a smooth ride too...

 

[Copper&Black]

Exactly we can plan it all out, pre-assemble the bag brackets and supports, their placement etc...I don't think you have that spare under your ride anymore, so obviously that is where the tank and compressor will be going.

If you go to steve meade's website and checkout his escalade build, you can get an ideal of some of this, that escalade is bagged and you can see the tank/compressor mounting..

It'll be a good test run for when you bag yours Seems pretty straight foward and you already know how to remove the entire interior so wiring shouldn't be an issue
