FYI, no bump stops in the chassis-tech bags, mine were delivered today…:)

Each bag, probably around #400? cant find my absolute pressures in my notes, just the differential pressure when I was trying to determin airspring piston area. I came up with each spring having about 12sq/in of surface area. IE when I added #240 to the arch, I got a 10PSI increase in air...

Sure, Same chassis tech #2200 bags and I will start with a Gabriel 83057 shock. The original travel is I believe ~1.75” This shock has 3” total but has a bump stop on each end, #242 of compression and #364 of rebound resistance at typical velocities. So just over 2” of smooth travel between...

You see there I go not thinking 4th dimensionally again… I really need to work on that:)

Styer went with coilovers, and the general consensus is that they suck:)

Well there is no frame mount structure above this to attach to for a pull type down limit, you would have to add a tower of some sort. Using straps for something like that is not the best in my opinion anyway as I don’t think they age well and have a cyclic limit. it would be far easier to...

I would keep a close eye on the bags and straps. The 83035 shock you chose has at least 1“ more travel than the bag is supposed to have. I have seen 2 different specs for those bags, 3”- 6” and 2.88”- 6.25” Or between 3 and 3-3/8” of travel. That shock has a bump stop and cutoff valve on the...

Interesting, wonder why he could not compress it to minimum height? sounds like he was standing on it…

Well if you can extend the bags by hand(which I am guessing you probably can), but not compress them to their minimum height, then they probably have an internal bump stop. Very desirable for this application IMO…

How did you arrive at that shock? It has alot of travel(4.22”). Does the bag have an internal bump stop? The gabriels are a pretty cool design, with most of their cab shocks using a hydraulic cutoff to brake the rebound, and internal bump stops.
