This you?

I remember seeing pics from Waterfest. I seem to recall a c-notch sort of setup.

I think I've seen maybe 5 or more detailed pics of caddy rear air-ride setups that people have done and no two were alike. Just have to get creative I guess. The rear is the easy part if you are trying to get really low.

Here's how I did mine. It has it's drawbacks I know but it was simple and didn't involve cutting a huge hole in the bed. Sort of copied Madcaddy16v.

Hey man, to each his own...
I'm just sayin' there's a lot that looks scary there. Mostly the cutting...I actually use my bed, so that setup would be useless to me. Plus IMO it looks bad-arse from the side or the rear, but the hackjob of a rear setup looks like vomit. Screw those fender flares, too.

That'll get you damn low, but then you won't have to sacrifice the truck bed.

Bolts straight in, very little modification needed!

I am running this now without the flip and it rides low and my bags are having about 3 more inches before they bottom out. so the flip would drag azz.

right now my bags are 1/2 extended when empty but full, they just stiffen up my ride and lift me up two inches. with the exception of some bolts protruding through the floor, the bed is clear

post pics if you get a chance

since then I sprayed some flyers and 185-55-14's let the drop plates work for me. The bags are aired up to take a pic of it, but the sit about an inch lower without the air.

If I flip the axle I will still have room for bags to be empty and not bottom out. then they will bring me back to this stance with air.

This is with no air in the bags and lots of room to flip the axle.

In other words if I flip the axle I will be around 3 inches lower than than this pic. right?!!!!

up with no flares and some paint.

You asked for it. So I told you. I love you, too.

So, basically with your setup you just running a 3" drop from the drop plates, then you can go back up to only a 1" drop, and a stiff as hell ride??

Flipping the axle will just make this worse in my opinion.

Would you be able to run this setup but remove all but one leaf. That would pretty much eliminate the leaf springs from holding the car and put that on the bags, while still providing support to keep it all aligned????

flipping the axle will lower me the thickness of the axle around 3 inches more.

I have a stiff ride at 60-100psi and I have reason for it. I move backhoe buckets with this truck all the time. two buckets weigh more than 500 lbs. I can still run 90 down the highway running around 60-100psi and I have a smooth ride.

I don't think this is a problem at all.

most minitruckers use a single leaf. the leafsprings are there to hold the axle in place. the bags are for your ride hight.

i parked next to you in p.o.s. class at fall SnG i had the black mkIII i was laughin when u kept droppin the back while we were in traffic driving to the back
