- Andrew bought a 1979 C10 Square Body as his new shop truck. This is part 2 of the Ekstensive Metal Works 2 link air ride kit with their C notch and pan hard bar installation on the rear suspension. Air suspension is a staple in our shop trucks and we will be using Slam Specialities bags, Viair 444 compressor, manual paddle valves, along with half inch air lines to round out a basic setup. On this truck we will be using US Wheels Hot Rod Series 20" steelies with square body S10 dog dish hud caps.

Excited to get to work on my truck I just got. So much good info packed in these videos! Thanks fellas
You're welcome! Thanks for subscribing and following along!
slice n dice will out cut a sawzall 12/10 times!
I love me a slice and dice but when it comes to cutting out frames we need a drag race!
Dude!!! Love the lowering kit!! ✌️
Thank you!
Looking good!
Thank you!
I hear ya on that 60 hour work week. After awhile it wears on you... I love how this turned out but those sheets of plywood you talked about hauling in this shop truck wont fit quite so well with that big hump in the middle of the bed! Lol! Keep it up!
Thank you! I tried to tell him that but he just won't listen! Lol
Can you guys please link the shocks front and rear I’m literally doing the same exact thing but I don’t have shocks I need help!!
I honestly can't remember the part numbers, we called the manufacturer and they pointed us in the right direction!
how did you decide on where to mount the upper bag mounts on the frame rail?
After we installed the link bars to the rear end we raise it up to ride height. Then we installed the bag in a neutral position as far as inflated height versus aired out versus aired up, the upper plates are also contoured to where they're supposed to sit on the frame.
Kick azzzzz guys. What technique were you using when welding in the c notch and wire diameter? Thanks
It's. 030 er70 wire. I use the circle technique focusing the heat on either the thicker material or the pre existing structure.
Lookin' sweet n' low.
But PLEASE don't leave the wheels black!
Thanks! Most likely going white!
A metal hot glue gun? Never heard that before but I told my wife the Langmuir Plasma Table was a Cricut for grown men. I guess our logic is the same.
She let me buy one
Nice! I'll have to try that one! 😂
Hey dude ! What's wheels spec and tyres spec ? thx
Nice rear suspension.did the the diferencial have movement angle?
As far as the pinion angle yes. From ride height two laying on the ground about 2°
What did you mean by take offs when you guys where talking about buying tires
The used tires they take off that are still good!
Which bags are you running in the rear whats size?
Slam specialties ss7
When laid out, does the gas tank touch the ground??
It barely did but we raised it up about an inch
Does that extensive rear set up work good,I'm looking to do my 86 c10
For the money and a stockish power level it works well.
hey whats up guys, so i bought the same set up and im installing it on a 1982 c10, my question is how did you get your rear end differential angle/degree? we dont have a motor or transmission installed, so how what do you suggest we can do to get the our differential angle/degree?
It's hard to make it exact without the motor and trans installed. But you can go off the flange of the rear end and shoot for 4°, that's usually a safe bet
Nice truck! Hey, what backspace did you get on those wheels for them to tuck?
4.75" backspace. Check out part one for all the specs and even the part number!
as the trailing arms pivot point is further forward then the driveshaft pivot point , wont it pull or push the drive shaft in or out ?
It does but maybe an eighth inch or so. We just watched it to be sure it wasn't crashing into the transmission or pulling out too far and it wasn't!
@@BestDamnShopAround ahh rite thanks
@@princealbert123 anytime!
Do you all install these on customers cars? I got a 74 c10 I want bagged but I’m not a fabricator at all lol
We sure do!
Great video you guys, thanks for doing them.
I have a few questions if you could spare a few.
I'm slowly accumulating all the parts and things I need to bag my 82 long bed.
One of my hangups is the rear kit.
I'm sold on the Ekstensive Bride notch ya'll used, but torn between the Ekstensive 2 link kit you all used or the KP Customs 4 link Cantilever set up.
I dont plan on a body drop, but ild like 20-22" rims...
Can you speak to the pros and cons of the two rear bar/link systems?
I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out...
Thanks again. Looking fwd to your response and more great videos!!!
Thank you! As far as the two link kit we installed it is great but it will not lay frame on a 20-in wheel with a tire that's any bigger than a rubber band. We're actually planning on putting a small notch inside of the notch (as crazy as that sounds) just to lay on these 20s, a 22 I don't believe whould ever lay frame with this particular kit.
Another thing is to consider a two-link doesn't have the horsepower holding capacity that are four link would. Also ideally with air ride you would want a wats link and not a panhard bar.
question what welder did you guys use?
Lincoln 180. 220v
Can anyone tell me where I can get this complete kit
Step notch and whatever the rest is called?
Ekstensive Metal Works! Can't remember what this kit is called but you can go to the website and pick out what works best for your needs!
Go low or go home😬
Exactly!
