Just like everyone else heres my work in progress... Shes a 72 C10, bagged with CPP tubular front control arms, 22x8.5 up front and 22x10 out back. This is where she should sit fully dumped.

looks good. Is that a repop bedside? If so, how's the fit for you? I've heard they're pretty good.

Yes its a repop, got the sides front panel and tailgate from LMC as for the fit its not to bad... I made my own bed floor so i could bring the gas tank up, hide the tanks and compresor, and allow the pot to not hit the bed floor. Right now the front panels a little low on the pass side by about 1/4" and the tailgate sits maybe an 1/8 to 1/16" to high but im happy, when im ready ill start messing with fitment. And thanks for the compliment!

Couldn't you just run the 3-link and do a bag over axle and eliminate the trailing arms?

Just thinkin here because we're getting ready to do my sons and am trying to decide if a 3 link or 4 link is better.

When you put the air bag over the axle your ride isn't as good. Plus when mounted on the trailing arm you will get more lift.
Nice job Bill :metal:

Thanks for the reply. With the bags on the trailing arms can you still pull a payload and lay LOW?

As long as your lower arms are strong enough. Like these I installed.

I wish I was that far along ..... still got a long ways to go . Jason what bags are you using on your truck ?

Fire stones sleeve and slams up front .

Re: How about some pics of bagged C-10's
 
I was thinking about the Air lift D2600 for the front and then the sleeves on the rear when I get that far .... Think those will work on the front , I found a place on E-bay that sells them for 95.00 pair with free shipping , seems reasonable

Check out Contitech bags. Stronger than Firestone and cheaper.

Re: How about some pics of bagged C-10's
 
I was thinking about those for the front of my truck along with the dropmember .... Looks like they should work , I have some conti-tecs but they do not ine up with the holes in the upper mounts and I dont want to start hacking on it.
