Hi, I've been a lurker for a long time and am ready to start my first project to slam a truck. I've bought a nice original 1971 S10 with a V8 and A/T and want to copy the truck in the picture. I want to lay it VERY low at shows, but want to drive it without dragging. I have gone through ALL the tech articles (not only on this board) and learned a LOT but still can't find the right way to tackle this from scratch. I noticed NO bag kits for 1971's, they start for 1973's and newer......:-(
So, hopefully you guys can help me get started - main thing (1.) is finding a complete bag kit. Then:
2. Do I still need drop spindles in the front if I'm going to use front and rear bags? Basically, would a bag kit provide such a full drop or do I need other stuff to get that low?
3. Do I "just" remove the coils and just add bags (and othershocks)?
4. Is there a need to use different offset wheels to keep them from hitting fenders in front or rear? I'm thinking of using 20" (or higher) wheels, but I'm sure that will give me a harder time to get it that low????
5. I've read about a triangular setup for the rear axle, when do I need that?
OK, you see I'm a newbie (at bagging, I haven't even bagged at WalMart!) so hopefully I hear some new things here. Even links would help.
Thanks!
