Bagging a Longhorn

I know that a few of us on here have longhorns. Has anyone ever tried to bag a longhorn. I am contemplating the idea and thing that it would look sick. Anyone have any ideas?

Probably wouldn't be a very happy longhorn......

8.5 feet of lowered truck....still trying to process that, but it wouldn't be any different (conceptually) than a bagged ramp rod.

Re: Bagging a Longhorn

Good news- YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Bad news- obviously very little info- I do have a picture of just a longbed 3/4 ton bagged from the Goodguys show and one itsy bitsy tiny picture of a slammed longhorn-not sure if bagged or not. Hope this helps and when you do..which we know you will..make sure to do a build thread!

OK now here is the curve ball. I have a 1 ton with leaf springs? The pictures show trailling arms.

Re: Bagging a Longhorn

I thought about it.....but ran out of coin The front will be straight foward(as you know), but the rear is gonna need some different suspension. Maybe set up on a 4bar, or build your own crossmember & go trail arm setup? It could be done, but you no doubt will be doin some fab work CrazyAL
