Re: Rat Rod 73-87's
I didn't say it was a rat, I said it was junk....it's not good enough to be called a rat yet.

Re: Rat Rod 73-87's
it started as me trying to bag it for super cheap, as you can see I now have more money into the bags than the whole rest of the truck combined....ugh

Re: Rat Rod 73-87's
yea, I pieced mine together and it wasn't too bad. it was like $1500 roughly to get everything. You can find complete kits for like $700 or $800 but they aren't as good of equipment. If you piece it together you can get exactly what you want. I didn't know what I wanted when I started so I just kept researching and asking a lot of questions.

Re: Rat Rod 73-87's
well, bag setup isn't going to matter when it comes to laying frame. you're going to need to Z the front of the frame or get some kind of drop member which isn't cheap, and you're going to have to Z the rear of the frame or do a big step notch. you're also going to need drop spindles or control arms or both. you're going to need a link setup of some sort in the rear, and then your bag setup on top of all that...I can give you my opinion of what you should do as far as your bag setup but it's really going to depend on what you want to do with it. if you're going to want to play with it a lot then you're going to want a lot of volume and a bunch of compressors, if you just want to raise it when you drive and lower it when you park then you won't need near as much.

Re: Rat Rod 73-87's
I have 5 gallons and two Viair 380's and it's good for raising it to drive and dropping it when I park but if I was in to playing with it a lot I'd probably go with like 12 gallons and 4 480's or something along those lines, that's a lot more money though. Also you have to decide if speed matters to you, obviously the bigger the air line the faster air will move through it, so you have to figure out if want want to run 3/8" line or 1/2" inch. you can also go really cheap with manual valves and 1/4" line, it will take like 5 - 8 seconds to raise it from all the way down to all the way up, but it will save you a lot of money.
