can anyone suggest or post pics of the rear set up with trailing arms with bags to lay frame can you use the stock spring location for the bag and get clearence how are the bags mounted cups?? any suggestions thanks

You are not gonna lay frame with bags in the stock coil spring location. My setup is slam specialties RE7 bags mounted off the rear with a kit i bought from suicide doors. The brackets weld to the bottom of the axle tubes and my notch is from kp components. With my truck aired out and bottomed out in the notch on 27" tires, i am still not laying frame. I just installed a drop crossmember from ECE and it atually raised my truck up almost 3"

. If i had to do it all over again, i would build my own notch and 4 link the thing.

^^^I wouldn't leave your bags plumbed like that. When you connect the two sides you allow air to go from one side to the other when you turn. This is very bad for your handling.

bigbuc · 05-14-2006, 06:51 PM

thats just my little rig to get it off the floor so i can move it in and out of the garage i have all my 1/2 dot lines but im waiting for the fittings...
