If I do go on the bars, are the bas in front of the axle or behind it? Sorry for all the stupid quesions.

first of all DO NOT RUN A 2 LINK you will regret it they are garbage trust me i ran one for a week biggest mistake of my life i am now running a system i designed myself it's a tri 4 link and i'm running my bags on my lower bars and couldn't be happier i get no wheel hop the ride is great it's just harder to hop the back this way that's all here are some pics of my setup hope this helps and oh yeah for the love of god do not run a 2 link
2LINK = GARBAGE

Re: Advice on bagging a truck

just a couple of quick questions:

- Is the KP 6 link the same as the KP 4 link and cantilever setup?

- I have a 4x4, what would be the best way (and cost effective) to get it low in the front without excessive camber, keeping in mind that you cant get spindles for a 4x4. i don't mind if it doesn't lay out in front... just want it close to laying. Would shockwaves be a good option in the front? i like them because of the easy install.

Yes, a 6 link is the same thing as a four link and cantilever setup.

Re: Advice on bagging a truck

Need some help with this have a 92 ext cab stepside for the front I have 2" spindle and 3" drop shock for the rear 3" drop leaf 2" shackle and western chassis c-notch. Im going with the cool ride up front upper and lower control arms, but the rear drop is the problem. I have western chassis hangers that I can put on. The problem that I run into is the gibson 3" exaust. I dont need to lay it down in the back but I want to get a good tuck with the 18x10s I have any suggestions. Thanks

Re: Advice on bagging a truck

It all depends on how hard you want to lay in the rear. I bagged my 99 silverado abouth 3 mounths ago and had to turn my exhaust down before the axle. I have a thorebeck parallel 4 link and an 8" bridge and I tuck about 3 inches of a 22" rim in the rear.
Keep in touch, I'm about to bag a 95 silverado stepside I'll keep pics posted to help give you some ideas. It's gonna lay fram on 20s

Re: Advice on bagging a truck

Alright some questions. How low can I go in the rear with my flip kit notch on 255/40/17in wheels VS a bigger notch without cutting through the bed? Will the bigger notch make a big difference or should I just keep my flip kit notch. I decided I dont need to lay out and want to keep it pretty simple but by no means cheap. I want lots of air and aengine driven compressor. Also can I bag just the rear for now or do you have to do it all at once? I need some suggestions on what all I should buy. Thanks

Another question I really like the airbar kit would I have to cut through my bed to get the maximum 10 inches of drop?

Re: Advice on bagging a truck

Simple, just do i right the first time, make sure your notch is big enough for your truck to lay out. Im having to do mine because in going from 22's to a 24.
