What' the Best Way to Lower the Rear and...
 
still have some cargo carrying capacity in a coil sprung C10? Right now I can haul a lot but have lowered the front slightly and want to bring the back end down some... Suggestions please? H.

air bags dude ... air 'em up to haul ... air 'em out to cruise :cool:

air bags will allow you to run in the weeds and still haul something heavy... probably the most expensive option, but it's the proper way to have the best of both worlds... several vendors have kits, Early Classic and Air Ride Technologies comes to mind...

Thanks for the replies Guyz. Ordered 2 air bags from Jason at ***************** Great guy, great price. Now, how about plumbing? Just like the old air-shock days? Whoops, showin' my age.... Hunter

one word of advice from someone who hasa bags & hauls 4420 pounds of scrap metal. put the bags closer to the axle & not in the stock coil location. that way you can haul more weight without squashing the bags. also make sure you install them at the recommended height. usually about 5.5" at ride height unloaded.
