I just finished up installing the Ez Air Ride kit on my 64 C10 and it was pretty easy to install... I have never installed one before and i talked to Steve and he was great and very helpful!!! Smooth transaction and quick shipping...
I did it in about 6 hours one Saturday morning!
(see Pics)

Looks great is it completely down as far as it will go in this picture and did you install a notch ?

No C notch and that's all the way down with the stock suspension. The rear end will drop all the way down on the frame with out the rear end hitting the wood bed. So it still looks stock when aired up.

Looks killer guess this will be the kit I will go with just with the addition of drop spindles and bolt in notch

I still can't decide if I want to go that low or spend the extra money and labor! Lol.
Might just cruz like this for awhile!!!

It's a killer truck I say drive it.... Love the steel wheels and the white walls

lorider · 10-30-2013, 10:43 PM

The kit really is bolt on. It's simple and easy and amazing! The truck looks awesome. Notches and such do take more time! I did step notches disc conversion with drop spindles that's why I'm not finished should be by Saturday though. Ez ride is the way to go and love your truck man

still1graphics · 10-30-2013, 10:47 PM

Sounds sweet!!! Please post a picture when you get it completed... Thanks!!!

hearselover · 10-31-2013, 06:19 AM

Am I missing something with the basic kit, ie no picture of a valve like in the ultimate kit so how do you control the air to each corner. I may just be being thick here.

still1graphics · 10-31-2013, 07:57 AM

you control each wheel with the paddle Valves on the gauge panel it does not have the valves like the more expensive kit so it's not as fast up and down but it works just fine and saves a lot of money! I'm not into trying to slam it up or down real fast just like to sit down low and cruise...

hearselover · 10-31-2013, 09:26 AM

That explains it thank you. Any idea how long it takes to get from down to up.

Ash

still1graphics · 10-31-2013, 12:35 PM

Probably @ 3-4 seconds up or down? The back goes up faster because of less weight but goes down slower than the front. It all depends on the weight? Front down faster but up slower and just the oppisite in the rear? Hope this helps!!!

hearselover · 11-10-2013, 02:08 PM

Just checking the truck over today and making sure everything will fit properly and noticed that the passenger rear wheel is closer to the inner wheel well than the drivers side one. I'm concerned that when we fit the air ride kit the passenger side wheel will rub against the wheel well. I have no idea why its closer and the only thing I can think of doing is to add wheel spacers but not sure if that's the right thing to do. Any advice or opinions appreciated.

still1graphics · 11-10-2013, 02:36 PM

sounds like you may have a rIm with a different offset then the rest of them? I would check that first see what the backspacing is and then check the others.

still1graphics · 11-10-2013, 02:37 PM

Who's kit did you go with???

lorider · 11-10-2013, 03:49 PM

heres mine, ez air ride basic kit with kp bolt on step notches and 2 inch blocks in the back, up front disc conversion with 2.5 inch drop spindles. Name: image.jpg

Looks great lorider, you should also post a picture with it all the way up.

lorider · 11-10-2013, 05:30 PM

sorry if its too dark its all I got right now

still1graphics · 11-10-2013, 05:56 PM

Does your bags leak down over night or any fittings???

lorider · 11-10-2013, 05:59 PM

they did the first night cause I just threw it all together but after I took it apart and re did it no. make sure you Teflon every fitting even the screw on fittings to the back of the gauges, and make sure your hoses are all cleanly cut going into those plastic fittings

69StepsideMedic · 11-10-2013, 06:19 PM

truck looks killer but do you still have stock trailing arms? how much space is between the notch and the axle

lorider · 11-10-2013, 06:24 PM

Yes stock trailing arms and bags in place of the coils, fully aired out there's about 4-5 inches from the rear end to the top of the notch. I got the step notch to be safe and eventually lay frame

69StepsideMedic · 11-10-2013, 07:07 PM

any pictures of rear without the bed.... you still have inner fenders ?

lorider · 11-10-2013, 07:17 PM

like this? and yes I do have the inner fenders

legotech7 · 11-26-2013, 04:31 PM

Great pics of the EZ ride. Did you happen to take any pics of the install. I'm sure we would all like to see how it was done, with this particular kit. Did the bolt on C notch come with the kit or did you get some where else? And how is the ride?

Thanks Legotech7...........
