You wont use any of the rear suspension stuff at all, and I dont know what you used to lower the front but you may not need any of it either.

Re: Advice on bagging a truck
I used the KP 4 link, cantilever set up for the rear of my truck as well as the KP 10" GM fullsize specific notch. Up front I have the ART coolride system with the strong arms. Firestone bags. 4 1/2" smc valves for ups and 4 3/8" valves for dumps. I have 1/2" DOT airline, the Air Lift air commander engine driven compressor, and the Air Lift 8 1/2 gallon tank. To control it all I have the ART ride pro E system, its mounted where the passenger side airbag switch was in my 03 Sierra single cab. I am very pleased with everything. With this set up my truck does lay frame on the tall 22" wheels/tires. BTW I purchased everything from sportruck.com. email Jody@sportruck.com for all of your sport truck needs.

Re: Advice on bagging a truck
my last truck i sold last summer had the kp rear kit and it rode great but if i ever had the urge to bag another one i would probablly run the IFCUSTOMS 2link up i had djm lower controls and fbibagcups it took less than 30mins to change a bag, it was a floating cup but it didnt make no noise or turn any....and the camber up front was also prett0y cool another thig i hated about it the guy who did the notch for me said i had to bring it threw the bed and thats wrong, i wish it was still under the bed.....and also if i ever do it again i will run an engine drive instead of a viair and nitrogen..... just my 2cents

Re: Advice on bagging a truck
i have a 92 std short bed, right now i have a 5/8 drop, djm 2"spendles,3"springs, 6"flip 2"shackles, it handles ok would like better and i hate not having ajustment, i have a built tpi in it and if i do air i have to have good handling, i would like to lay the front vlance on the ground, and out back i would like to at least have it 2-3" lower then it is now with the 5/8, i would like to lay like MIKEs does but maybe a lil lower. i want great handling no mushy stuff, no body roll, im trying to build a great handling high power sport truck, so with this said whats my options on a bag setup? also i dont want to go up and down fast at all, i just want great handling with ajustable ride! what do you all think? also about how much am i lookin at price wise?

Re: Advice on bagging a truck
okay, i just got done reading all 4 pages. i wanted to run a bag on bar set-up, but i also tow stuff with my truck on occasions. that would be too much pressure on the bags, right? i should just go with a bag on axle set-up? and, how much, if any trimming needs to be done to the front for a 2600lbs bag on stock control arms?

Re: Advice on bagging a truck
so, i've been wanting to bag my truck since i've owned it. it's a 98 extended cab, 2 wheel drive. so far i've installed a 4/6, belltech kit. and being static is getting boring. which came with 2" spindles, 2" springs, a flip kit for the rear, and a tiny notch. i still have all my stock parts. now, i know i'm gonna go with a monster notch, i'm ok with cuttin up the bed. i'm also ok with removing the inner fenders in the front, and i've already started to move some of the stuff around. i'm still rollin on stock 15"s which is ok also. what i wanna do is lay frame. a stock floor body drop will come after i get the bags all situated. i want to do a 4 link in the rear. my real question is, what all exactly do i need? i mean i need a full list of absolutely everything that i need to do this. and what are the advantages of running nitrogen over air? if i wanna play with this and drag and all that happy stuff, should i run more than one compressor? how big of a tank? what size valves and line? what size bags? i'm looking for answers from the guys that are already laid out. any help would be great. i'm looking to do this within a couple months.
thanks guys. hopefully soon i'll be throwing sparks. ![]() People laugh at us when we spend hours on end working on our trucks, yet shake our hands when we are done.
