cnate777 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yes that is what I have been hearing.....the back is fairly up front with the exception of the bump stops.....the front I have a couple of different options....I.e. shockwaves, lowered control arms and drop spindles......or bag it up front......I am leaning toward the bag it upfront idea.......yes the truck does have torsion bars up front which will come out Rockford Fosgate Sundown Audio DC Power Inc XS Autometer Pioneer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99fullsizechevy Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm guessing yours has the hd suspesion package or something... The one I helped bag had almost the same suspension as my 2wd silvy, coil spring front with no torsion barsand regular leaf spring rear And to tuck on my truck 22x9.5s have to have 34+ offset or they won't work, would imagine it to be Very similar with yours... There are Chevy full size forums that have a TON of info on these things Laying frame soon.. System has to wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanjd2 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 i have a 99 suburban that im bagging on 24's. its 4wd though. i'd recommend slam specialties ss7's or ss8's all around. your choice i'd recommend the viair 444 dual pack unless you already ordered the 480's. do a 4 link in the rear and put the bags on the lower bars to get enough lift for the 6's. the front is where the trouble is gonna be at. you need to have the bags as close to the pivot point of the lower control arm to generate enough lift to clear those 6's. i'm running 4 3/8" valves... not interested in side to side. i'd recommend 4 vales as well. 3 switches (front, rear, and all up/all down) post pics of the build. any other questions... let me know. jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnate777 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 The rims and tires are all ordered......tires will be here in a week.......then I'm waiting for the ol' tax return to show up and then it is air bag time.....what I am planning on is 4 1/2 valves, 5 or 6 gallon tank, dual Viair 480's, as far as bags go I am leaning toward Slam bags.....in the back I'm going to put cups and bags......up front......I still haven't gotten a lot of direction on what to do.......I am definitely not doing shockwaves........however I don't know if I should use the stock a arm or get some JDM upper and lowers and some drop spindles.......what does everyone think about either of those options......I am going to run the air line through the frame for the fronts, with rubber bushings where the airline passes through the frame......what does everyone think about that......oh I know someone said something about a engine driven pump.....that is a no go for me I am running quad alternators and a magna charger supercharger will be going on eventually.....I am all maxed out.....that and I like my air conditioning....let me know what you guys think....thanks Rockford Fosgate Sundown Audio DC Power Inc XS Autometer Pioneer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnate777 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 So the tax return is here and it is time to start the air ride.....I am on the kp website.......I am going to run the dual Viair 480s......since I am running dual compressors do I need to be looking for a tank that has dual 1/4 inputs as well as quad 1/2 outputs....I also need a drain too???? Right????? The tank will be mounted behind the roll pan between the frame rails......will 75 foot of 1/2 air line be enough.... I am looking for the either Parker or Danz valves......I need 8, right?????? Now as far as fittings what to think I will need.....I just need a list.....I'm here on the kp website like I said and there are a lot of options just need to narrow it down......what will I need to connect my valves together????? Slam specialties bags....still undecided on either ss7 or ss8.......4 upper and 4 lower bag mounts....do I need shock relocators???? I will get the gauges and controls, also the steering wheel gauge pod......drop spindles for sure.....still undecided about drop a arms....oh I am planning on running the air line through the frame rails....first good idea?????second should I use a rubber grommet or something where the airline goes though the frame??? I thought I might be a good idea.....is there anything I am missing let me know...thanks Rockford Fosgate Sundown Audio DC Power Inc XS Autometer Pioneer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach. Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm pretty sure cups will not work for the front on your suburban. You'll need what's called torsion brackets. It's basically a flat plate with gussets. pretty easy to install imo. You'll need at least 6 valves. Preferably 8. If you run 4 then the air will transfer between sides when turning. SMC is also another good valve brand. For the bags air lift dominators are good but they balloon a bit. So that can cause rubbing. As far as slams go, get the RE series. If you want a stiff ride then use the RE7's. If you want a soft ride then use the RE8's. They're bigger though. They'll be harder to fit up front then the RE7's but It's possible. On the gm truck forum im on all but one or two people that have used the SS series have had issues. Mostly leaking. Stay away from djm, it's hit and miss with them. Mostly miss from what I've seen. You'll need at least drop spindles. Mcgaughys make great drop spindles. You might even need a front kit like what Michigan metal works or ekstensive metal works sells. Their kits include arms and they relocate your upper arm brackets so you won't have a ton of negative camber. You'll for sure need shock relocators for the front and you'll probably have to redo the back shocks too. Air line through the frame is fine. Except maybe around the exhaust. If you bring it through the frame then use a rubber grommet. If you're mounting one compressor on the left of the tank and one on the right then just use 1/4" x 1/2" reducers. They'll screw into your 1/2" ports and make them 1/4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
