Re: American Revolution 2nd time around 2wd Blazer

great work as usual. the owner is going to be super pleased once it gets back on the road.

I'm curious why you chose to use cups on the rear bags instead of bolting them to the frame. I'm guessing because you knew what ride height you wanted, and how to accomplish it.

I have put over 9k miles in her so far and allot of that has been working her. I am getting ready to start building her replacement though It will be a 72 crew cab 1 ton dually with a short fleet bed with step side fenders sliced to cover the duals, cummins turbo and layed out on a custom air system for towing. It will be a better tow vehicle and I will have more room for my Son as we will be heading to allot of shows in the next few years.

The owner supplied the bags for the Blazer and the rears need the cup to mount up. Also with the rear end sitting in the notch the bag is full deflated so not having the cup would not let is sit any lower but would keep it from getting 1" higher.

I just noticed there are no reverse lights. Aren't those required by law?
