Anyone know any shops in the NO/Gulf Coast area that does bags? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I called a shop here local about 2 weeks ago.....the guys said he was going to do some research and call me back. NO call.

I called today, they had the installer call me...he said Ill call you right back with your options/prices.....NO call..

If these guys cant even call back, Im not sure I want to give them my truck or $$$$

Anyone know of any shops or anyone that does bags in South Lousiana---> Panama City area???

Thanks!

Air bag suspension is very easy to do on trailing arm and a arm suspension.just take your coil sprigs out of the back and bolt your cups and bags in.front you will need to bolt a upper plate in and a lower cup and presto.

yeah that wouldnt be to bad....but Im looking to either lay frame or get damn close!

I might just do it myself if I dont find someone soon....I think Id get more satisfaction from that too....there's so much help on here, Im sure I can do it

if your talking about laying frame there is a lot to consider.here is a pic of my truck on bags with 2" drop spindles and no notch.

Most pro shops are going to charge you a similar amount to allow your frame to lay. Baby steps.... Do the bags & mild drop now (yourself) & maybe the DM later.

no offense, but if you can't afford doing it the drop member / raised cross member way then you're not gonna be able to afford to pay a custom shop to do it their way.

shane is correct, buy the porter stuff once and be done with it. i used several shops here in houston and spent top dollar and still was not happy. you are going pay about the same amount of money on porter parts and then you can brag to your buddys that you built it.
