hey im new to this place and new with bags. i have a 81 chevy that im currently building and im interested in bagging it. im building on a fairly tight budget due to the fact that im seventeen. i wanna be able to get enough lift out of my truck to drive it without any problems but i also wanna be able to get it as low as possible when wanted..without doing drop spindles whats the best way to go? how low will it sit if all i do is bag it?

im also wondering on wheels..i have tires bought but i havent picked wheels yet. the tires are 295/50r20s so im thinking wheels need to be 20x10s? idk if thats right though and how do i know about backspacing? any help would be great

im in the middle of bagging my truck. i ordered everything from suicide doors and it was relativly cheap for a decent set up. problem is that nearly all my fitting and all my vavles are on back order and they dont know when they will be getting them in. what is another site that i can get valves and fitting from that doesnt cost an arm and a leg?

I've never ordered from them, but they sell valves. www.fbirides.com

Go with AVS they usually price match if not already have cheaper valves.

You get the member price if you pay the 100 or 200 member rate. If you dont pay the member price you get the non member price. You can still order from them without joining to get the "members" prices.

i just recently purchased an air ride kit that was originally gonna go on an s10..the guy i bought it from was hurting for money and let the kit go for $600..so i wanted to know if a kit for an s10 would virtually be the same as a fullsize kit?..excluding the 4 link..what else would i need?

jb90sc · 05-12-2009, 02:30 PM

ok newbie here... just read all pages and couldnt find my answer so here goes, i have a 90 model swb i have a 4/6 drop i just added bags and on the front the fenders sits on the tires, they dont lean inwards, now can i trim the fenders and be fine or do i need to go back with moving the camber so it does lean in...or do i need to go back with the stock spindles? any help would be greatfully appriciated

Anyone know if there is a bolt on 4 link avalible for the 08-09 NNBS trucks.

Ok i just found out that KP components uses the 99-06 rear 4 link on the 07-09 trucks you just have to modify a little but nothing to the kit it self.
