Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver

I was able to ride my front at 50-60psi (airlift 2600's) but my back was at around 80ish. I had sleeved bags and really needed to just dial in the back. I did put 2" risers under the bags which made it worse cause the shock was maxed out and not doin anything. I drove it that way once (on way to meet new owner) I hated the ride but bf I added the blocks it rode great. The idea to add blocks is to get the bag pressure down, which I'm sure would be good if he gets longer shocks. Also by doing that you are theoretically able to get more lift with lower pressure. Even with more pressure in rear which is opposite of all bagged trucks I'v heard of, it still rode great.
