To bag or not to bag....

That is my question. Well I want to, its going to be my daily driver. id rather not cut the bed, so I don't plan on laying out. I want to run 20's of course and I plan on drop spindles and blocks in the rear. I wanted a static drop but I live on a dirt road and would like the ability to hover the holes. I wouldn't mind the bolt in baby notch that comes with all the kits because its contained under the bed still. I am keeping my inner fenders also but I can modify them a little. I know the control arms will hit rather quickly and I am not planning on laying frame. Just trying to get an idea if anyone has pictures of what the stance would be. I have already put the 73-87 suspension under the truck and I will order brackets accordingly. Ive bagged a couple other cars/trucks so I am somewhat familiar with the process. I really like the ride the bags give and of course the look. just want to see if its worth the money and time without cutting the truck apart.

Re: To bag or not to bag....

This link should help give you an idea of how the truck will sit, depending on what components you use. The truck in the link, is basically using the Porterbuilt Stage 1 front and Stage 2 Basic rear. He started with a Stage 1 rear, but added to it from there. You can see the difference through adding the c-notch and spindles.

Our Pro1 air ride kit runs $2,375 & $2,615 if you need drop spindles (which I suggest if you don't already have them installed). But, watch for our monthly special next month, since these Pro series air ride kits will be on special....

The Streeters would be $850, but I have one set left in black on a special pricing of $765.

Re: To bag or not to bag....

Travis has already showed you my thread on the variations of the Porterbuilt kits, but I figured i give my input as well. One of the reasons I wanted to bag my truck was because I wanted it to be low, but I also needed it to be able to get into my driveway. You can see in the picture that it has enough of an angle that most low cars/trucks scrape going in/coming out. Bagging my truck has given me a great ride, the ability to come into my driveway without issue, and the option to lay it out when parked for a nice, low look.

And you can't go wrong with Porterbuilt or Travis at Pro Performance.

Good luck!
