bagged rear end for a pro street

[lowc10]

I was going to do a coilover and ladder bar rear, but now I am leaning towards bags. I want them for the easy adjustability from the cab. Plus I can get more than 8" of drop in the rear. I looked at the kp bolt on rear kit but I can't fit the wide tires that I want. Anyone bagged a pro street and have pics of the set up? Oh and it's a 85 swb

I would go 4 link for that.....Ladder bars aren't really street friendly.

yeah i'm not doing the coilover/ladder bar. I am wanting to know the best location to place the bag and the best link, for traction.

Put a 4 link on it and put the airbags in the same location as you would a coilspring.

What are your plans for truck? Street strip or street only?

As of right now it is just a street truck. It has around 425hp right now but want to get over 600 eventualy. I am wanting a street/strip truck, it will see more street than strip. All that I have left to do is suspension and the rear end, on the race part of it.

I wouldn't recommend any ole 4 link then. I'd go with a Chris Alson's 4 link with that much HP. Check them out or call them for prices on kits.www.cachassisworks.com/

yeah I kinda want to know the best placement for the bags too. There is a bagged 70 somewhere with like 18.5 wide atleast would like to see his set up.

You just mount them like you would the shocks.....easy to do. They even have bagged shocks kinda like a coil over as shown above, but an airbag. Air bag in shock form. Fabbing brackets for regular bags is easy as well.

i checked out the 72 and it has the bags over the axle and ladder bars. I'm wanting a four link since it is driven on the streets more.

Yes, 4 link will articulate more for bumps and uneven surfaces.
