IMO I think bagging something like that specially a truck looks major bad. It's such a nice strong looking truck before. It's like neutering your poor truck's manhood :D

I already have 1 tank mounted behind my front bumper. The other one will be mounted in the stock gas tank location along with both compressors. My bttery will be relocated to the rear frame as well. We plan to start on the front when the rear is completelt finished & my rearend is off to get narrowed.

Normally what you could do is just plate the lca & cal it a day........we are shortening them by 2" to help with camber. Then we have to raise the upper control arms as well.

While I'm generally not a fan of bagging vehicles, it will look pretty bad ass to have a bagged truck towing a bagged car.


So when's the trailer getting bagged?

Lol, I was really wanting to do that. I would have to build it from scratch

And the problem with that is? Other than time of course.

looks awesome man! I'm realllllyyyy not feeling those wheels though. Look too 'baller' for me. I'd go with some sort of BOSS wheel or something a little meaner and less blingy looking but hey to each their own. Why are you only doing a two link and not a four link?

Its not a 2 link, I guess its a 3 link. 2 link bars on bottom & a wishbone on top of the axle. Im already runnong boss wheels lol. If I change them it will be either to intros or bonspeeds

Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2009 3:10 pm
by sidepipe87
Doh! I fail haha. And yes, some nice Intros or Bonspeeds would be even better.

cool, nothing wrong with that setup, I'd just wan't a 4 link for piece of mind knowing that the rear end won't be moving around at all, but I guess it really won't with that setup anyway. I can't wait to see more! I want a bagged truck sooo bad. :sad:
