Re: Murdered Out, Slammed, Heavy Hauler with SIX bags
Thanks for the input on the removable trans tunnel, kinda cool that it is makes it a lot easier to work on trans lines, kickdown cable and modulator and everything else.
QUESTION AND OPINIONS TIME!!!
But want some opinions on a design for the 4 bag rear setup, after a lot of researching and designing I found a few trucks who do have it. They are regular trucks, they're usually big ass 18 wheelers, duallys and in that area. Take a look at some of the pics I found and let me know what you think.
This one is not a four bag rear but I liked how the bag was mounted behind the axle but isn't a cantilever system
This is probably my favorite. It's a parallel 4 link with a bag in front an behind the axle, but the bag bracket assembly is the mounting for the four link.
Again not a four bag but I liked the setup.
Like the next two but not a really good shot of how and where the bags are mounted to the axle. still a parallel four link but it is sitting outside the frame which I don't like.
These next two are the more common method of using four bags, it replaces the leaf spring but is mounted underneath the frame so you won't be slamming the truck with this setup but you can haul.
The next two are the same design with some minor difference but I feel that this would be a good way to slam the truck and still have the ability to haul. Mounted outside of the frame with a drop down bracket to mount the front links. But also has the triangulation of a triangulated four link, it almost is but not really?
So you've seen what I've found, any thoughts on what ya see? Also been thinking what if i used bags that have a larger weight capacity?
