I'm going to have my parents bring my cab from there house in a couple of weekends just to put it on and see how it's all going to fit. I'm not ready for it, but seeing yours makes me wanna get it going.

Well back to the drawing board again don't have enough lift on the rear bags

ruffrida2005 · 02-23-2010, 11:56 PM

What kind of bags are you running on the back? Can you make a bigger lower bracket for the axle? I think you should have kept the bag on bar.

Broke1 · 02-24-2010, 12:00 AM
