i have a 72 c10 that im considering putting the strong arm rear set up on
my ? is how will this affect me towing a car trailer-would i just need to increase my pressures or would it require diffrent bags ?
the trailer is just a 20 ft flatbed not enclosed
-also with the strong arm rear setup does it require cutting your bed for full travel?
-and my last question is my 72 c10 is a long bed will the strong arm rear setup still work on a long bed truck i dont know if theres diffrences in mounting points between short and long bed trucks trailing arms
thank you for your help

We are only using about 60-70% of the load capacity of that rear air spring, so you would not have any trouble hauling the car trailer.

If you use the tall bumpstop that comes with the rear strongarm kit you will not need to cut the bed floor. It will put the pumpkin right up against it. Everything will bolt onto your long bed. But you will have to use a 1 piece drive shaft, our crossmember is not setup for a carrier bearing.
