Budget front bag install

Thinking about bagging the front of my truck, instead of drop springs.

I am doing rear assist bags with some leafs removed, and have an AC compressor to use for air.

I figured if I was going to have the rear, and already have a compressor, why not do the front.

Can someone recommend parts, where to get, etc...???

Thanks!

Re: Budget front bag install

Yeah...
Try Suicide Doors (*****************) for the upper plates and lower cups (http://*****************/67-87Fullsiz...rtBrackets.php) and for the bags like the Firestones 224c (http://*****************/Firestone224c2600.php). You could also try truckshop.com or Larry at innovativeairsuspension.com, just to name a couple.

OJ-
For a start, check out los-lowrider's post, especially page 4 (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=166743&page=4) and post 81 (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=81). Unfortunately, it looks like the Outlaw Motorsport's site is under construction, so the diagrams are not assessible. But, other diagrams are floating around like in the suspension forum.

It sounds like you're doing a setup similar to low-lowrider.
