So I'm trying to get everything together to bag my truck, what am I missing?

[Slammed80]

So far I've got;
front and rear solenoid blocks
rear bags
1/4hp air compressor
air tank
switch box and wiring
gauges

I know I need front bags, the mounting plates for them, and i think i need the four link rear, or is that not neccasary?  What are the methods for bagging the rear?

I was also thinking I'd get a second 1/4hp compressor to speed things up.

Opinions?

There are different ways to go out back, a four link is just one.

And don't forget all that air line ya gunna be runnin.

You could run an air over leaf setup depending on how low you plan to go with it.  You also want a airtank so the compressors don't have to run all the time.

I've got an air tank.   Any pics of the air over leaf?  an explanation of it?  i've got a flipkit on it, how exactly does this work with that?

[FlatBlack77]

If I am not mistaken the bags would be sittin on a plate mounted right on top on the leaf springs. I don't think it would work with a flip kit.

it will work with a flip, N2TRUX on here is using it on his '77, it mounts to the between the spring and the flip.

So basically I get the additional lowering by removing all but one or two springs but I keep the load capacity and stability by putting the bag in there, right?

If I wanted to really put it on the ground could I use a shackle and hanger kit in there too for additional lowering?

One more thing, do I need drop spindles to bag the front?  I just want it to be able to lay down when I park it is really all I'm after. 

[Captkaos]

only remove down to 2 springs not one, put a flip kit on it and it pretty close to being on the ground.  If you want it lower, N2TRUX has 3" dropped spindles with bags. The rear has flip, all but two leafs removed, 2" block and bag over leaf set up with acustom built C-notch.  this is it aired down to the bumpstops so he can ride it while aired out.



If you want it to be anything relatively low or close to the ground you HAVE to use spindles to get the front down.

chassis tech has a bolt i kit know thats lays frame for this body style of truck

 keep in mind just because its bolt in dosent mean you not gonna hav4e to cut up some frame

 but your gonna put all that work in and then not lay frame its a waste of money and time in my book

 I think its in this month mini truckin and truckin or sport truck where the 2 guys did the kit in six hours and it will give you an idea what you need for parts still

 and spindle are a must to get the front on the ground
