Thanks for the compliments.. I am all over the board with air ride stuff.. My 68 has An ART Coolride kit,Big Red valves, 3/8 line, two 3 gallon tanks and 1 compressor. Also running drop spindles and blocks in the rear .. That was pretty much all there was when I bagged that truck.. Plus after a four year build when I decided to bag it 6 months after it was done I didn't want to cut anything...

The 64 has a Dropmember with ART control arms, KP notch with stock trailing arms. I am running manual valves in that truck.. I have a set of Big Red valves sitting but its hard to fix whats not broken. This truck also has two 3 gallon tanks and one compressor..

The 54 is going on the 97 S10 chassis.. Bags and drop spindels up front, Extensive metal works 2 link in the rear.. Couldn't beat the deal on the two link.. Not worth taking the time to build my own.. As I said this truck is pretty simple.. Keepin the 4.3 so I am not worried about the way it hooks up.. Just want it low.. I also have a set of Big Red valves for this truck as well..

The 67 is way on the back burner for now.. But I Z'd the frame 3 inches, cut an inch off of the front bag cups and run 2.5" drop spindles.. The rear is a KP notch and stock trailing arms.. Who knows what I will do with this truck for air management..

Any questions please hit me up!
