What is it that you do for a living? you have a handfull of amazing trucks and I'm sure the shop bills arent cheap, let alone the price of the rigs when you buy them... I hope to have a collection like yours someday.

We do offer a Watts link kit the GM 10 bolt rearends which is going to be the best way to locate the axle on an air bag system. I'm not to familiar with a panard bar or is that maybe that's a new product offered by Porterbuilt?
Are you new here ?

Hurry Up ....
It showed up on Friday... the only problem is that I already shaved two bolt holes off the 12-bolt rear so the 10-bolt bracket I got the first time around would fit...

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)

Hey Nathan,

Does that 12-2 rear end solve fit issues?

I need to try to get some more room under the floor, that may be just the ticket.

What do you guys that can lay frame do if one of your bags fails? Do you have some way to raise it up so you can limp home?

Come to a grinding stop!?

We haven't had one fail on us... yet. Of course, the safest way is to design your system to where the frame doesn't lay on the ground when fully deflated... but what fun is that!

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)

Me and nate talk about it, I think were going with 1/4" lines and big red ( always)valves and a air zenith pump, 3 gallon tank, I hope the air zenith works out .I used one on my wagon and it failed,Because i already have the fast bags stuff on the panel and the 66, though we switch it up a bit. On your thread i said the oasis was the sh-t i mean it, thats the killer set up if you like hitting the switches

I lost an 1/8" feed to a gauge... had enough compressor/tank to feed the bag with air every couple of seconds to keep the truck off the ground while I limped home.

Oh, and I changed the oil in the left turn lane once. Well... more like 'drained' the oil. Oops.

Ken was that the front of your Blazer need more pics. And for the record I perfer oranges but apples aren't as messy to eat. And I perfer trucks to lay on the ground but stock ones are earier to live with.

Nathan, you know my opinion is your product is the with out a doubt the best for certain applications. I just wish it had been available two years ago.
