Hey guys

I have purchased a TCI IFS system for my 1957 chevy pickup and they have sent me shockwave front shocks. i know that when the truck is at ride height with al the weight on the bags the lower control arm needs to be level. When installing the bags where should the lower control arm hang, or does it matter as i can adjust the psi in the bags once all the weight is on the shocks. (fist time installing air bags!!!) any help would be great.

Thanks in advance

Nick

Not sure I understand the question....
Just bolt them on and let the suspension hang. Put the car on the ground, then inflate the shockwaves until the Ride height is achieved. Ride height on that SKW is about 11.5" Center eye to center eye.... and yes the lower arm should be level also.
