Looks great. I am getting ready to do about the same thing to my 56 wagon. I bought 3 inch blocks and the ride tech bag over leaf. Fronts a bag with stock spindles. Looks like I might need to add drop spindles.
Hi Dave, the supplier of the kit says they have used the single leaf in heaps of cars no issue. The rear was axle tube onto chassis and maybe 1.5” off ground for chassis rails. but the front was frame on ground ( it has drop spindles also )
Dude, no way! actually I was looking at a 57 four-door with the Continental kit and man that would be a great candidate for air ride that they would look so cool dropped in the weeds!!
@@armadaleautoparts-hotrodsh9313$15k really!! Mann I don’t think it’s that expensive here in the states to do that buddy mine a few years ago he put it right on his 40 business coupe I don’t think it cost more than a few thousand bucks. But he took the air ride off because the bags kept leaking so now it’s just dropped a couple inches.
Mr. Smart when you installed your airbag system did you know that you would have to remove the drive line (if you have a cross bar in the way) and the rear shocks? In order for the rear end to drop low enough to allow the tire/wheel to be removed. I just tried this and it still “stresses the fender” I’ve been told removing the shocks goes with headaches of owning such a system.:((((
Hey Dave, we had the wheels on and off the rear once bags were installed, you gotta put Jack stands under the body and let the suspension hang, then tilt one side up a bit to get them off……. But I had to do the same on my old 57 with 2” blocks….. the joys of low cars 😉
@@armadaleautoparts-hotrodsh9313 thanks for the reply, Happy 4th of July!!:)))) I still have to remove the shocks and even then it “stresses the fender” a little to get them off. You are RIGHT THE JOY OF OWNING LOWERED CARS:))))
@@armadaleautoparts-hotrodsh9313 thanks for that. Im assuming u didnt have any rubbing problems by going 7 inch wide, versus 6 inch wide rims. Thanks again. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍
