buying bagged truck looking for advice

[stroker87]

Hi every one

I came a cross a bagged 96 gmc (i know i'm in the 87 section but theirs more action here)

its a simple setup 4 bags 2 link with a pan bar in the rear a switch to control the front and one for the rear engine driven compressor and a 10 gallon tank c notch rear frame

never messed with air bags before so dont know whats good or bad? what should be looked at or watched out for?

any and all welds that where made, and you will almost have to drive it to make sure the rear is stable and doesnt wooble or shake. look at the bolts for the trailing arms and the panhard bar and make sure there not grinding the bolts there should be bushings..if the relocated the shocks make sure there traveling straight and there not bottoming out or bending any brackets(same goes for the front). make sure the panhard and trailing arms arnt rubbing against the frame when airing up or down.....ask what grade of bolts were used look foranything rubbing brakelines,airlines....look at the quality of workmenship......a set of bags you can for around 200 250....if you want to change to elec compressores and differant tanks in the future thats not very hard. up front does it have factory control arms or after market ones made for bags........we need pictures

I would pass just because its a 2 link those are hard to keep the pinion angles right.And the 2 link is the cheapest way to bag the rear so the rest of it is probably done cheap too.
