Alright, as anyone who has ready my previous posts know, that I am not the smartest guy on airbags and trucks. SOooo, I need to know everyones opinion if I should bag my truck or not. I have a 94 chevy fullsize reg. cab [at streetsourcemag.com under jus2sic] and for the next 3 or 4 years this truck will most likely be my daily driver. SO whether its rain or shine, i gotta drive this baby. I have a few questions and thank u funk for givin it ur best to answer them, but i have more my fren.... first - is there any way of not cutting my wheelwells if i get bags assuming i wouldnt lay frame? secondly, the kit from airride tech. [i was told] will make my truck as low as it can go with the front valence being a 1/4 inch off the ground.[i was told from tony at airride] third - could this all be done w/o cuttin my bed at all? and would my suspension be complete air, or would i keep the leaf springs? or what?? But the main question is... would this be suitable for me cuz my truck is a daily driver through rain and shine and i dont garage it, cuz i dont have one.. so... could this work guys??

Yea i do need some better pics, they were taken with a $50 camera from comp usa, apparently they jus came out with these lil digital cameras, its my college cam.... girls gone totally wild heheh, but the cover on my truck is a gaylords, i jus got it 4 weeks ago, i love it its durable and clean as hell. ANd funk 1 thing man, if i bag and cut, would it be a comfortable ride, like in rain or shine, would th bags withhold bad weather while my truck sits? I live in cali, hehe not too badda weather. ANd if u could what kind of hooks do u have on bags?? All i would want is front and back not fbss. Thanks FunK

bags can withstand any weather.. here in TN and KY our weather changes everyday, and it gets blistering cold here in the winter.

The bags will not freeze, and won't crack.


Have you ever heard of riding on a cloud? well with bags and the correct installation you will experience that.


You can do a couple of options with your bed after cutting it such as I posted below.


a normal front and back setup shouldn't cost your over 1200 for the best parts out there.

Funk what did u use to cover that up? I just talked to mark [moderator] and hes said i wouldnt have to cut the bed, but only one of the bridges under the bed that connects it to the frame, then i could do bags. hearda this before? cuz i jus dont wanna cut my bed yet.

My truck is in the shop right now being bagged. I'm not cutting my floor either and it should lay frame. I have a friend with a '94 extended cab that when he first bagged his he still had his leafs and didn't cut his floor and he was also laying frame. You'll be just fine.

don't be a ***** and cut it that's my motto lol


"if ya don't cut, you don't count" lol





that cover is just a tinted plexiglass, had a local glass shop mold the pieces together. not my truck, but still a sweet job on the notch

Well, I guess I'm a pu$$y and I don't count 'cause I ain't cutting! :D Hell, the guy who owns the shop that's doing mine doesn't even have his bed cut on his 2K1. He hops that b!tch around with nitrogen and shit. But I guess he doesn't count either, eh? :p

It's my truck and this is the way I want it, so :p:p:p:p:p:p:p
