bagged 63-64 galaxies question

at the moment I am running ridetech shockwaves on the front, firestone bags on back leafs, 5 gallon tank, ridetech 1/4" valve manifold and 2 viair compressors with avs controller.
question is what dampers have you guys fitted as the shockwaves imo are way too soft , I need to add extra damping to my wagon to help it handle better. any suggestion on what to fit and any pics of where you have mounted them ?
I will be removing the shockwaves in the winter and fitting new bags , what do you suggest for this as well .

thanks in anticipation

I don't really know about the shockwaves, but if you are gonna do the swap to a double convoluted bag you can easily drop in slam RE6's with a 4" cup ( total height ) and lay frame .

You can also get some shock mounts and add them behind your spindle , it's tight but it will fit

Excellent Info , any ideas on what dampers to use as in open and closed size ?
Any pics to help visualise what I need to do over the winter?

 

With slam specialties you don't need to limited and restrict any travel , they have built in bump stops.

I will post some links of galaxies and post some pics soon

Thank you very much , that's perfect . Top man . All I need to do now is 4 link my back end and get a York compressor. Your help on this is very much appreciated.

 

I have now removed 16 pairs of Shockwaves, on the order of dissatisfied customers. Leaks abound, as well as a few total failures. They are just too small for a full-sized car too. Take them out, and run a Slam Specialties SS-6 (more compliant rubber, and an inch more travel than an RE-6), and make some cups for proper ride/rest heights. Run a KYB GR-2 or Gas-A-Just shock absorber(damper) on the side of the arm, and you are good to go. If you have the coin for Bilstiens, go for those.

 

Thank you very much , I agree about shockwaves being ****. Will look for ss-6's and kyb gr-2 .
What bags do recommend on a 4 link rear axle with pan hard bar

 

Slam Specialties SS-7.
