Torsions To Bags Advise Needed!

[TINKERDUKE]

I'm looking at sticking bags under the front of my 60 panel in the next month or two and am looking for some advise As i understand it i need to take the torsion bars out and pop the bags in between the top and bottom arms. I will probably fab the plates up myself- what thickness will i need for top and bottom plates? Also can somebody recommend what bags i use and where to get them? I will probably just run lines into the cab with schrader valves to keep things cheap and simple for the time

Thanks in advance, Steve.

I have some un-installed as of yet plates for the top and they are 1/4", or 6m depending on what system your on over there. I purchased the Slam bags due to the built in bumpstop.......check e-bay; sold everywhere as far as I can see. I asked about them on the suspension section and they werte highly recommended............re7 is the bag.

You can also purchase a'cup' for the lower a-arm, although plenty of people weld on the plate and it works just as well.

I would take the imperial measures over metric anyday- just wish the rest of the country would

Yeah Tinker, thats the bag........there are different series w/ higher ratings depending on what you are doing. The re series is rated for 200psi......Im only running a 150psi system and not planning on hopping or anything. Most responses I got on the suspension thred said people barely run 120psi max most of the time. Cant complain about the price either!

Could you spare a few extra # notes?

Yeah those prices are pretty reasonable, although shipping and import dutys always sting me What would a basic compressor/tank cost to run these bags- what compressor will you run?
Also, what dya reckon to ride quality on these bags and will they give a lot of body roll?

Thanks for your help

As far as material, 1/4" plate is plenty. Plates for the lower arms will also be required as there are no spring pockets.

I would combine that with a spindle if you are interested in more drop.
