My first pic on GMFS of my 88 OBS

[Matthew]

Check out my truck, I am new to the site and I just installed bags on my truck. What ya'll think? The front lays frame, not yet in the rear, but I didn't cut out my bed and just have the Bell-Tech C-notch, I don't think I want to cutout the bed. Big shout out to my pops for helping with the welding. :shake:

[bcubed]

Looks nice, like the color and the flames .. what components did you bag it with? :rocking:

[Matthew]

bagged with Slam Specialties RS 62's in front and RS 72's in rear. 4 inch drop leafs from Master Image Customs, Bell-Tech flip kit and c-notch. 8 GC 1/2 250 PSI valves, 12 Gallon tank and 2 Viair 380 200 PSI compressors all from Airgasm Kustomz.com. Bolt on front shock relocator kit from made by ART from Suicidedoors.com. Drop spindles from AIM, (don't buy from AIM they have terrible customer service). I did the flames for my Senior project when I was in high school, it got keyed a few years ago and I had to re-do them again. :nono: Oh and my rims are old skool style 17's haha by Centerline if anybody wanted to know.

So you have Air Over Leaf in the rear? Hows that ride for you? ... and yeah, we all know about AIM :lol:

bcubed-its not the traditional air over leaf setup you're probably thinking of, the leafs drop it all the way so the frame is bottomed out on the axel, (obviously I don't drive it that way) I then air it up to drive, the airbags are behind the axel,(two mounts on the bottom of axel, and then we welded a x-member accross the top of the frame with two mounts on it.) I know you all probably think I should have done a 4 link but for now this was the most co$t effective way to get the job done,($99 for the leafs instead of $400 for a 4-link.) Also I didn't have to cut the bed out this way, just had to trim down one of the bed x-members so now when I air out the rear end housing is resting 1/4 below bed floor. Sorry to stray from what you asked, how does it ride? Not too bad, I drove if for a week without shocks and it was bouncy as hell but after I got shocks back on it seems to be pretty good. I'm working on mounting the front shocks this week and hope to see more of an improvement. OBS started the whole sport truck thing, gotta luv um. :imo

Hmm, that's pretty much Air Over Leaf ... don't get me wrong, it looks good and you can always 4-link it down the road.

I thought air-over leaf meant the airbags were mounted on the leaf springs, the bottom of the bag mounts on the leaf the other mount on the frame? So the way I have it I could just remove the leafs and stick on a 4 link in the future like ya say. Or I could still go lower with the leafs if I cut the bed out, welded on a monster notch, stuck on rear shackles and front spring hangers, this would lower the rear 4 more inches. I just haven't got the courage to get the sawzall out yet and hack up the bed. I will get there someday, the custom bug is always biting me. :weld:

[Matthew]

Ok I finally figured out how to post pictures the right way I think so I'm gonna try to put a few more up here. Feel free to compliment, laugh or desregard these pics. One has a huge gauge on the air tank that was funny as hell, too bad I had to take it off when the bed cover went back on, my friends tried to get me to cut a hole in the cover so the gauge would stick out the top of the cover I decided against it. :rocking:

Looks good, thats one big gauge!

Grill looks better in person, I know the tails are played out, I'm gonna get some stockers back in soon. I just started workin on my truck again after takin like 3 years off from it going to school and what not so basically the truck is gettin transformed, I know my truck was cool three years ago but it needs updating now. Bcubed- You always rank on me then say still nice truck! I appreciate the honest opinion, if you don't like something then just say you don't like it, you don't need to sugar coat it by saying still nice truck at the end. I can take the abuse. :ninja:

[bcubed]

Huh? :think: I find it funny that someone thinks if you dislike one thing about a truck, you don't like it at all. A grill and tail lights are small 'taters ... easily changed ... overall, I like your truck alot ..not sugarcoating it, just a few things I would do differently .. but it's our desire to do things differently that makes all these trucks cool :evil:

Ok one last pic for this thread. Here is my other truck, the daily driver. 1969 C10-trusty longbed. 350 Bored 30 over, Holley 750, Edelbrock, comp cam, automatic. Run's a 14.5 in the 1/4 mile, not bad for a daily driver in my book.
