WOOO!!! Completed bag pics!
Well, I gave her a 5 minute crap wash and took some pics. Lemmie know what you think. I love her!
Laid out... Aired up fully, dang thats a lot of lift... And ride height... id guess its about 6/8 or so. Dont wanna go any lower the LCA just scrub on EVERYTHING. No the back isnt done yet. Thats a whole nother money pile, but I already have the EDC setup so it shouldnt be too bad, just need another tank, 4 link, and notch/bags/etc...

How much $ do you have in it for the front? I'm thinking about starting a long process mod like this on mine. Oh yeah, looks real good laid out like that.

Welp, I think I put about a grand total into the front. But I already had the spindles, so if you dont, add ~200 onto that. The Engine driven setup was around 300 total, but I had brackets that I could already use. The rest of the parts, plates, cups, fittings, tanks, bags easily added up to 1000, thats a rough guess, maybe more. But I love it. It rides nicer than any old truck ive been in. Even with the Slammed static rear.
Eric- The rear is drop leaves (I didnt know I had until the flip went on), A flip kit, and a shackle set on 1". I cant wait to get the tri 4 link on, should ride completely like buttah.

Im sitting on the inner fenders, and since its a daily driver. Its gonna stay that way. It will lay on the LCA's if I want. For the rear id just go a tri-4link /w canti... Im doing all my designing in autocad/solidworks to make sure its legit. It cuts out the need for a panhard and the extra 2 canti links in the rear. I was thinking about talking to Jason @ ***************** about making it a kit. But its hard to get ahold of him.
I can get you a parts list and prices later today. I have to work right now.

I was gonna take some, but in the midst of using a worn bit and burning up a drill, I kinda forgot. Its real easy. Drop the wheel, drop the LCA drill the x member, bolt on bags and plate. Run lines to valves. Reinstall and air up. Simple.

Yeah, I know how it is when you're focused on getting it done. The reason I asked is because I understand that it may be possible to trim 3/4" to 1" of the SD's lower air bag bracket to allow it to sit lower in the LCA spring pocket without the bag rubbing.
Thanks anyway.

Yeah, you can always cut the cups. But laying frame (or LCA's) isnt THAT important to me on a daily driver.
