Re: Advice on bagging a truck

I bagged my 04 using Kp 4 link and cantilever with firestone bags out back. Instead of grinding the rivet head off, take a drill near the same size and drill the center untill you are almost through the head. then take a punch and hammer and knock the stem through. The Kp kit works and rides great, I've only but 7K miles on it so far I hope my luck keeps up.

I used ART's upper and lower control arms up front along with there cups and firestone bags. The upper shock mount is best to be welded on. Mine pulled the bolts from the frame. I'm using ART's bigred valves with 3/8" ports and 1/2" line. I'm upgrading now to 3 5 gallon tanks under my bed (if they all will fit) and a air commander. Before this I had one 5 gallon tank and a Viair 450. I grew to hate the noise that thing makes with in a week on installing it. 5 gallons of air is not enough to raise to front and rear of the truck. lift front to ride height and raise rear about halfway then wait for tank to refill.

For guages I'm using once again ART's ridepro E it's a small selfcontained unit that has the guages and switches all in one. I have it mounted in my over head console. It's easy to read and use. plus you can upgrade to a remote. I plan on doing some time down the road.
