Re: 66 rear bag question

STill leaking, it's either the bag or the little plug in you push the air line into. Anyone have any suggestions? Are you suppose to put anything on the airline when you plug it in?

Re: 66 rear bag question

Just make sure the air line is cut very clean and square. If it is cut on an angle, it could cause it to leak.

Take some soapy water in a spray bottle, and spray all connections. If it bubbles, you have a leak. You can either turn the fittings a 1/4 turn to see if it seals, or remove and re-apply teflon tape and re-install.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: 66 rear bag question

OK, Kit installed and it ROCKS!!! I couldn't like it better. My truck is stable driving down the road now, even pulling my mowing trailer loaded up heavy.

Special thanks to Travis at Pro Performance. He took great care of me and I will do business with him again.

Definately a great individual and excellent place to deal with, especially since they sell our stuff.

Re: 66 rear bag question

I have a 65 on a 62 frame.
I want to keep it at the height it is in the pic below.
I want this to be the height for day to day driving.
Because it's on a 62 frame, the shocks are already in the back.
What do I need as far as bags and cups to keep this height?

Typical recommended rear bags are the 6-6.5"dia variety which yield about 6-7" tall @ ride height. The 'hats' used to simplify installation can vary in height depending on the manufacturer but are usually about 1-1.5" tall.

Take a measurement of the height of your current spring w/the full weight of the truck on the suspension & compare the diff for your answer.
