My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Looks great Shawn, glad the airbags worked out for you. Having the hats does make for a really easy install especially if you decide to go more extreme sometime in the future.

Hey Shawn can you let me know how it rides. I'm thinking of bags for the rear of my truck and keeping static front. I don't have a notch for rear but looking for better ride from the rear and not wanting to notch thanks.

That's why I always say 2" lowering blocks affect the ride height.
Just think how high it would be without them?
I run 50 psi in my blazer rear bags.
The roof makes it weight slightly more,... but I still hate how high my ride height is.

Well guys I took it for a good little drive over rail road tracks and lots of bumps. She rides very well and never once bottomed out. I am quite happy with the bags

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread

Well the bags were empty this morning when I woke up So I got out the soapy water and pulled all the line connections and realized I only cut one end square So I corrected that and we will see how it goes. If they go empty again I'll go back to the springs untill I can do a compressor and tank.
