Re: bagged rear coils in a 63
I have bags, cups and dual schrader valves. Let’s me lower it when I want and also add air when I am towing my camper.

Re: bagged rear coils in a 63
I got mine from Air Ride now Ride Tech but Firestone 2500 bags and some cups can be had for less with some shopping. Funny thing is the 2600s on front are the same as rear on my helpers on 1ton

Re: bagged rear coils in a 63
I did the same simple separate lines to Schrader valves on my rear bag swap. They are Slam Specialties SS7 bags.
The coils that came out were OG, sagged out and torch lowered so naturally the ride was massively improved.

Re: bagged rear coils in a 63
What is the reasoning of the twin Schrader valves?

Re: bagged rear coils in a 63
I also run Firestone double fluted air springs in the rear of my 63 C10.

Re: bagged rear coils in a 63
I used Air Lift D2600 bags. They'll bolt in place of the spring by drilling two mounting holes up top, and making room for the air fitting to pass through the frame. The bottom mounts with a single bolt through the trailing arm just like stock.
