Looking to bag my 64

Here's what I'm looking for:

Information on what it takes to bag my 64.

I don't know much about it other than what I can see on YouTube, but I do want to do it myself. If I can. So my questions are, pretty much everything.

From front to rear and everything in between. I know there is a lot of work involved and I don't expect anybody to tell me step by step how to do this. Just looking for someone to point me in the right direction is all. Maybe a place that has options I can see?

I'm not looking for a company to do it. I have already looked down that avenue. They want to charge me $4500-$7000! No thanks.

I know kits run all over in price. From $599 to $3000+.
I'm not sure what kit supplier I'm going to go through but I'm not a rich guy so I'm trying to be a bit frugal while still doing the job right.

I'm not cutting corners just, just trying to save myself a bit of money due to I have the time to do it myself.

So if anybody out there can give me some usable advice I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!!

Re: Looking to bag my 64

Look in the suspension section and there are a lot of threads in there to help you. Travis at Pro Performance is a vendor here on the board and is very helpful at putting together packages to get you everything you need to do this with good parts and a good price. Look him up in the vendors section and send him a PM with your needs.

Re: Looking to bag my 64

Does your truck have leaf springs or is the truck arms with the coil springs in the back?

There is no "cheap" way to do it right. I agree with everyone else here AZProPerformance has everything you will need.

Re: Looking to bag my 64

Regardless of whose kit you are going to use, the basic kits are pretty similar in installation. I can post or email you some instructions for our Level 1 kit and you can get an idea of what kind of labor you will be up for.

Re: Looking to bag my 64

"Cheap?" Not really at all what I was asking for? I have cash to spend but don't believe I need to spend $3000. to $7000. on a new suspension kit? I was asking for a reputable reasonable company and price... Thanks though for your input?

We revamped our air ride kits, and some do use the RideTech products in some. Be glad to help in anyway, and we are a RideTech dealer.
