Re: My 68 c10
 
what is the date on that show man. I want to do my bags soon but never really messed with the as far as wiring and routing. I need some guidance on what to buy, I want them to be slow a quite, Thinking on just doing the fronts first on my truck. Let me know heres what i believe i need. Upper plates and lower cups, bags, fittings, lines, compressor, about a 5 gallon tank, and valves but dont know which ones fill me in on your set up and costs of it if you dont mind.

honestly if you want to come down to fresno one weekend i can do your fronts thier super simple.
i got a simple setup i spent probably 200 on my front setup with just the bags and cups plates and lines fitting etc. but i am runnin a t too a bike fitting for now i got danz vavles i need to put in but i want to get parkers they are really great.

54Caddy 06-23-2010 12:36 AM

Re: My 68 c10
 
your running what kind of fitting and since you dont have valves are you still running the compressor..

JesseH13 06-23-2010 12:42 AM

Re: My 68 c10
 
well right now i mounted my compressor so i can hook them up when i need too.
the fitting i got from avs which is right around the corner from my dad.
i got the 90 degree swivel push pull connectors on my bags and once everything like frame mods are done i will purchase the rest of my lines so i can run my compressor tank and valves

How much more can you go down in the front before the control arms are on the ground are your cups cut

54Caddy 06-23-2010 01:27 AM

Re: My 68 c10
 
oh so if you where to drive the truck you wouldn't be able to dump it out and raise it up as you please because everything is not hooked up

i would say im a good inch and a half awayfrom the ground from my control arms
and thats with out my drop spindles so once i put my drop spindles on my control arms so lay on the ground especially since im going with smaller tires

yeah right now its all just through a Schneider valve. its not really a problem bkuz the only time i drive my truck is to move it around my dads shop.

54Caddy 06-23-2010 12:27 PM

Re: My 68 c10
 
Oh ok, that would be a big problem for me. Was looking on a few sites last night seen a few 5 gallon tanks and a 9 gallon one that looked nice, I dont understand why some have larger holes then others and how many i actually need.
