I just ordered Viking coilovers from Atomic, and ordered the Ridetech upper and lower Strong Arms, and their new bolt on 3 link rear system to get rid of the leaf springs and go to a 4/6 drop

Here is the full blown system: https://www.ridetech.com/products/su...ilverado-2007/

I just ordered the rear section, without the sway bar and shocks here:https://www.ridetech.com/application...006-silverado/

Literally just came out this month. I couldn't help myself, perfect timing

I keep coming back to that wishbone setup, it's very tempting. I already have a McGaughys c notch, but it looks like the ridetech notch is long enough to cover the existing cut for the McGaughys as well as some of the holes already drilled for that one. I may have to ask ridetech support about that though.

Some guys on Facebook were asking about the Ridetech C-Notch covering the same dimensions as the McGauphy's or other existing C-Notches. Also, whether or not there was enough room to drill new holes to fit a 14 bolt rear end. I took some pics, hopefully it can help

How close to getting yours installed are you? Mine came in last week and I haven't even had time to get the boxes open and get every thing unpacked.

Not close, still getting the money together for the front Strong Arms. Then need the money for install. Hopefully I can order the arms by the end of the week.

I also need tires really soon and I'm hoping I can swing the 20's with tires, rather than having to buy another set of 17" tires for now

Starting the install this Thursday, that's the plan anyway. I have 20" Dub Luxe wheels on the way, with the original Proxes ST in 275/45, under $1500 shipped off Amazon.

I'll be taking pics along the way. I'll probably post everything when I'm done and have the ride height set and alignment done.

If you need pics or need to know anything while I am digging in there, let me know now so I can get you the info you need.

Can anyone recommend me a front airbag kit from Ridetech that i could possibly use on a 4wd NNBS?

I figured using Atomic's coilover brackets and an airbag that would clear the front axle would be nice.
