rear bagged pics 67-72 lwb
im building a truck and the front is done, i did a 4" z and bagged the front with 3" drop spindles. so im on the rear now and i zed the back 5" and putting a notch in it. im trying to figure out what kind of top braket to use if i put the bags in the spot for the springs. OR does anyone have another idea for mounting the bags. im not trying to spend a bunch of money buying pre-built parts as i can build most of it myself. thanx.

Rear bags can be bolted directly to the frame. The front can use an upper bag plate like this one from Suicidedoors.

i forgot to mention that the bags are dual port, it doesent look like they will fit to the frame on top.

Re: rear bagged pics 67-72 lwb
Here is a pic of mine before I did my backhalf. I just had the bag mounted in place of the coil spring. Drill some holes through the spring plate and frame. What are you doing for the steering up front? I z'd my front 4", but steering has not been touched. Not sure if I'm staying with the 4", but looks like the steering is going to be a major pita if I do. I was thinking of going back down to 3.5 or 3.75" Z. I just wanted to get the cross member tucked as much as possible so I could ride real low and not have to worry about the lower arms dragging on anything.

Re: rear bagged pics 67-72 lwb
What's your plans for tire height? 4in Z is a bit big, but not bad. I have a 2.5 Z, and 3in spindles. My plans are 24's. I have lots of pics in my biuld thread, including my A-arms, they are notched from steering and had been cut and tilted.

Re: rear bagged pics 67-72 lwb
How far are you're lower arms off the ground when flat out? How tall are your front tires. Just curious. Thanks.

Re: rear bagged pics 67-72 lwb
the arms are just shy of touching. I have a 27in tall tire, and I'm set to lay on 24's. Truck digs in the pavement with dropped. I've already tore into my pinch weld lol.
