spent $13 and bagged my rear end.
I had a set of those overload bag kits that I've been saving for the rear. Originally I was gonna use them to help my tj springs, but decided to use them instead of them. I slid them in there and the top bracket lined up nice. I went to lowes and bought some grade 8 "4 3/8 bolts for the bottom and a brand new drill bit to make the holes for the top. New drill bit was the best investment ever. I got the bags for free off of a trade in at my old job and the 13 bucks were spent at lowes. I have it set up were I have to run the compressor to air them up and there's a manual valve at the guage to let air out. Eventually I'll add a tank and valve to air up quicker but for now it all works good. Oh and I used an extra set of front shocks for the rear too. Pics coming.

That's fantastic! $13.00!!! Looks Great! I have the same bags in back of my truck, but it's not put together yet...... Do the first two pictures have air in bags or out of bags?

Re: spent $13 and bagged my rear end.
Do you air them up and let the air out at the same fitting, or does each bag have it's own valve?
I've read that each bag should be plumbed separately, otherwise air will travel from one bag to the other of least resistance when going around a corner.

Re: spent $13 and bagged my rear end.
Can't remember exactly how much air was in on those pics. I drove it to work yesterday like that. The frame hits the axle with all tge air out and I haven't measured the clearance with it aired up but I haven't had more than 60psi so far. I wanna put my bike in the back and see how it does now. Drove it without shocks and it was way too bouncy. I had to make the bolt sleeves in the shocks narrower but it rides nice now with the shocks in it.

Re: spent $13 and bagged my rear end.
There's one hose from the compressor that tees off to each side. So far no problem with it feeling like it's rolling. Even before I pit the shocks on. Mayb it's because I'm using 1/4 line.
