Re: Showing my ignorance

The term is used when a truck has air bags in place of the springs. There are several on here that are "bagged" im sure more will chime in and possiblly post pics.

Re: Showing my ignorance

Thanks! I'll try to find some pics in some of the posts.

What is the benefit of "bagging" your truck?

Re: Showing my ignorance

Looking badass is the benefit.... (Along w/the ability to adjust and a smoother ride)

It can also be used when explaining leaving the bar at 2 with a 10..... in more ways than one

That was cool. I love the 2 shots where it is raised and then lowered. Very cool!
