I pretty much have the same set-up as shown in the picture and my plans are to install an air bag system but with this rearend being off-centered i find it a challenge as to where to place the bags. Some towing will be done with the truck and I have heard that bags over axle will give you the best ride but I dont see the room for that. Could you guys throw some ideas at me as to a good setup?

I would also like to hear some ideas......
Check out Ben Shadys truck in the projects section, he is running the same c&c rear.

it looked like yours lol... but i wasnt sure .
i seen them bridge the rear end and center the bags .. but they got some tall notches and frame bridges... i wish i had the room to do it on mine

wheel size is irrelevant in the case of bag placement on the rear. I used wideload's pic as an example but I have the same rearend that is off centered. I cant figure out where to place the bags other than on the 2 link bars. Even then it seems like theres no room for that since the bars would be too short.

Ben Shady's setup:


Space is a big issue with C&C's. I would have my leaf springs relocated to the inside of the frame like pro street C10's in order to run 4 semi's if it wasn't for the big, off-center pumpkin of the C&C.

wideload...thanks. I was looking at that build all last night trying to come up with something similar. With that c&c being off centered thats pretty much the only way to go unless you make your upper and lower plates a little different but with the same concept. I of course wouldnt be using all the tubing even though it looks great. I wonder what type bags are those?

wideload... I found another pic of someones setup and this is more of what im leaning towards.
