I drive a 90 silverado. I am going to get the kp bolt on 4 link soon. I would like to mount the bags in front of the axle a little, mounted vertical. What bag mounts would I need to do this? I want it to be similar to the air bar, but with bags mounted in front of axle for better ride and lift. Would I weld on bag mounts to the axle, and weld the others to my notch? I want to get as low as possible without cutting through the bed. I know I cant lay out, but ideas are needed here.

Thanks man, thats pretty much what I'm lookin for, but bags mounted in front of axle for more travel and better ride. I could run a bridge in front of the axle, and make the bag mounts come off the axle in the front. Just reverse what's done in that pic.

You want to run the f9000's or wit will ride like ish. I know a guy in town who can build some bag brackets and stuff, or he could order you some and weld them on for you. Let me see if i still have his number.

It doesnt really matter if they are in front, top or behind. I highly doubt their will be any noticeable difference. f9000s are supposed to be better suited for the rear too.Originally posted by Beyond Static

That's the exact setup I was going to use on my truck..well..except f-9000s of course. I think that is clean as hell.
Never argue with idiots, they drag you down to there level, then beat you with experience
can the sleve type bags(f9000) be fully compressed like double convoluted bags? I am wanting it to be as low profile as possible. I am having mixed feelings now about cutting through the bed. I want to get low, but I want to keep my stock bed. I will most likely cut through the bed. I am trying to tell myself that my truck is a 90, and there's no resale value!

the f9000s need 4.5" when they are collapsed...also you need a bumpstop or something so the weight isnt on the bag itself when your layed.Originally posted by Beyond Static

Im pretty sure what you are trying to do is very possible but its going to take a little figureing. You would need to get some lower bag mounts like I have(see gallery) then run them upper ones off your notch or maybe a crossmember. You may also be able to get away with putting them on the outside of the frame off the back of your 4 link brackets.
I know it sounds like alot of work but you could raise your floor a little too.

I was thinking of this type of mount coming off the front of the axle
And this coming off of my bridge bar
Is this pic of the sleve type bags fully compressed, or can they handle more compression?

the first one probably wont give you the room needed , 4.5" when collapsed. Air ride also has the ones that come from the bottom of the axle like I have. I think they would work.
I didnt real;ize you were planning on running a bridge. What kind of notches are u gunna run?

Is this the type of lower bracket I should run?
As for a notch, i want it to be small, but big enough to lay if I go through all this work. I plan to make a notch similar to this one.

either those or the ones I have. You are just going to have to get it all set up then take measurements to get it right.

I'm not sure what the depth of jason's notch is...but most should be around 4" then you would only need to come up with another 1 to 1.5" of space.
As for keeping it under the bedfloor...you could make something similar to the pro street bracket you posted. I wish I had a picture of saras truck....the way that frank did it was perfect. He ran plates that dropped down some and kept everything under the bedfloor
If I decide to do bags and stick with an idea mine will be all under the bedfloor. Only a small hump for the pumpkin maybe.

I think its awesome to have a bagged truck and have everything under the bedfloor. It adds to the complexity factor.

well on my truck with my old 2 link i had a mini notch for 18's and a tiny 4x4 hole in my bed 2 lay out for the pumpkin. im pretty sure u dont need 2 cut a hole for ur notch just a little one for ur pumpkin if u dont do air ver axle.
Its really close to keep it under the bed with 20s but i think you still need the hole for the pumpkin. You could raise the floor and keep it all under there and some people wouldnt be able to tell but its probably more work than its worth in this case. But i also like the look of the stock/uncut bed floor. I think Airhead has a NBS with all underbed and its one of the sweetest trucks ive seen.
Yeah...kyles truck is nice...if he ever gets it painted...Originally posted by lxtoolxl

He's not laying out though..and I'm not sure if he wants to or not

Yeah, some people will argue why do it at all if you dont lay out but it doesnt matter to me. Why sacrifice such good looks to go a little lower.
A nbs can layout on 255/35 under the bed. OBS are IMPOSSIBLE to fit a strong underbed notch, and lay out on 20s. My biggest reason to bag is for a better ride. My truck rides like total crap. I think if I can get it all worked out to lay, I'll cut a small hole in the bed for my notch, and run wide wheeltubs to cover it up. I dont know how good this will look though.

Impossible you say??? I beg to differ.Your first step is to figure out which bags you are going to use. Then, you can start taking measurements, on the drawing board of course. I am about to start on an s10. They are getting the kp kit too. You should come talk to me, I can help ya out.
