what bag setup ?

I was wondering what an inexpressive air bag system would cost and where to get it.

Don’t need it to bounce the truck, but I don’t want to sacrifice safety and have suspension failure while driving. I don’t think I need an elaborate control system just something to raise all four corners when driving and to lay it down when parked. I would also prefer to mount the compressor and tank under hood or on the outside of the frame rails.

I’m currently running a c-notch with springs and 2 inch blocks and lowered spindles/springs in front. I have never thought about bags before and can’t find a FAQ for an entry level system. I was thinking of static bagging the rear if the whole system was out of my current budget.

Re: what bag setup ?

to bag a truck, plan on spending around $1300 or so. You're already notched and blocked, so you could probably knock $200 off of that or so. ***************** is a good place to get everything you need. that's where i got all of my stuff.

How about this..... If you want bags w/o the $$ outlay & don't mind not being in competition w/the 'Jone'es', PM me for the 411 (it's a little less than $1300 ).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
