The bigger the bag you can fit in the better. A bigger bag will exchange volume for pressure, so say instead of filling a 6'' bag to 120psi to get to ride height youl will fill an 8'' bag to 80psi to get to the same height. At that point your riding around on a softer bag wich will ride better, add the fact that heavy trucks ride better as well and it should ride like a caddy. I dont know if you have any brand preferences but i carry a full line of air management and bracketry on my site, feel free to take a look and email me with any questions you have.

so i got all my air susp. picked out going to order tomorrow next thing is get a new welder and plasma cutter. will post pics of everything once it comes in
my main question for now is do i need to "z" frame from my reading other post "z"ing the frame keeps your lower control arm bushings from being the first part to hit ground is this correct? i dont want to have truck laying rockers maybe 2"-3" off ground what do you guys recomend

Well if you dont want it to lay rocker then you shouldn't have to "Z" it, but you will need to modify A-arms and or dropped spindles if you want to lay frame with out neg. camber issues. Still going to need to C-notch it in the rear though. I personally can't wait to bag and body drop mine. I think they look sweet layin rocker, my first one was only a static drop, this one is going to lay out.

just a quick question i know the c&c rear end is cab and chassis but what is considered cab and chassis something like a box van/u-haul if so my dad has one of these as well and said i could have it if i pulled it out he bought the van at insurance auction a few yrs ago to use the box for storage will just have to go measure and see he said it is a 14 bolt gm rearend tho so hopefully i will luck out on this was really not looking forward to sectioning my fenders or buyin another axle
