Add air to the bags you installed.

Ya I did that but it sits on the pan and I'm not wanting to be stuck if something goes

wrong

You could add a taller cup
Or like the other guys are saying - put your bump stops back in

The stock style bump stops fall apart from new in a few weeks of daily driving (I roll low often, and daily my car). The internal bum stops on my SS-7's and cups from AirAssisted keep me from hitting my pan, what brackets and bags do you have? Is that pan taller than stock.

Looks like the deep 6-7 quart pan. Did you buy and install the front shock relocated brackets?

I've never seen proper front shock relocator brackets available for these cars. Are there decent ones out there? Link? And I'm guessing the logical route here is to lose the deep pan.

Pan is a finned aluminum pan.trans pan also.not sure on bags and brackets the local guy here had ordered the brackets and the bags say air lift on them.the brackets came out the Maryland area.

I'll probably pull the brackets back out and extend the top part when I get a chance.my buddy also mentioned doing a gbody spindle swap.the tires are rubbing the fenders also

I'm not really understanding what you want to accomplish? Do you want the car up 2" when the bags are deflated? If so, bump stops won't last long (from my experience). Shock relocation, is about the best idea for the front. As for the rear, I have no idea what you can do. What size and type of bags are you using in the front and rear? I have the same car bagged.

 

[creamed12]

Also another thing is go with stronger lines, I went with stainless steel lines. FYI: 8" bags in the front work better. You have to trim the pocket out. With 8" bags you use less air. It may not make sense but it's true. Larger bags take less air to lift. What kind of setup are you running? Digital or analog? Tank size and compressor(s). FBSS?

 

[pink63impala]

2600 bags front n rear.bought it in pieces trying to get something going.ya what I need is for the front to be up about 2 inches when layer out.

 

[pink63impala]

There's no front shocks ad of yet

 

[baggedout81]

Your gonna need a taller bag cup.it would probably be easier to do the bottom bag cup.

As for tires rubbing.Are you running china wires? Is so they have different back spacing compared to let's say Daytons

 

[pink63impala]

The bottom is just a plate.i will pull the top out and extend it.the wheels are china's. They stick out a bit from the disc brakes

You might also go with the bolt in urethane bump stops. They have the same half egg shape, but they are urethane with a bolt instead of the little chi chi.
