Re: Complete air suspension kit.... Help!

So now my question is should I use plates on the lower A-arms or cups. - If I use RE-7's up front the min height is 2.9 inches...

here are 2 pics I found on the bagged thread (both trucks are damn cool) - same basic front setup but one has cups and one has plates. This seems drastic.....

69chevyshort: "It's just a simple air bag setup with 2.5 drop spindles. 2600lbs bags up front 2800lbs. bags in rear. 5 gal. tank viair 450 comp. , and parker 3/8 valves. C-notch in rear and chromed front suspension parts. Wheels are 20x10 and 18x8 with 275 /40 in back and 255/45 in front Toyo Proxes. Any more questions?"

68laydout: "Looks good. I assume that is aired out front/rear? Just curious because that sure is lower than mine fully aired out in the front. I recently installed lower bag plates up front and they suck because I'm 4x4'n now at ride height. I've got 3" drop spndls w/slam bags. Crazy how much more drop you have with a slightly different setup."

PS, if 69chevyshort reads this, PLEASE do not paint that truck. That looks perfect.
