Re: My 52 GMC Build

I wish I could be of more help there. As my first bagged ride still hasn't hit the road (though very very soon it will) I'm running sleeves in the back so its gonna differ from your monsters. I feel 2600lb bag up front and sleeves is about 60/40 front to back. I just never hear of guys running over 100psi up front but you might find some info out there where guys are. If you just put a put a cup in there, I think that would help you out alot. I'm running cups top and bottom. I had to angle cut my bottom cup to work with my stock lower control arm. which you prolly won't need to do with yours.

I have to apologize to 99. He was giving me advise about the air bags and I was wrong on a few things. First I have 2500 bags up front and 2600 in back. Also I added a lower cup on the front this week so the bag was not so extended and gave them an angle cut to level out the bottom of the bag. I also don't need as much psi to get to ride height like 20psi less. I feel much better about this setup now. Thanks to everybody's advice and knowledge I do listen to everything, I just might be stubborn sometimes. This is my first build it has been a huge learning curve. Man I can't wait till spring when this thing will be rolling down the rd.
