Another upgrade for 06' Just finished the bag install on the corners. All in all not to bad. Much better stance I think.

lamar · 05-24-2006, 09:40 PM

That looks so cool!!!! Did you do the install yourself? If you don't mind about Thanks Lamar.

lngbed71 · 05-24-2006, 09:43 PM

Thanks...... yup. front and rear bags, compressor, lines, and tank. All part of the kit. A wee bit o' drillin up front, but it all works as advertised.

lamar · 05-24-2006, 09:44 PM

The fronts: no room when the bags are flat and the inner fenders can rest on the tires. I just need to watch how low that ride height is. The rear wells are no problem, they are tubbed.

Looooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggg beds rule!!!!!!!!

Bishops Trucks · 05-25-2006, 08:01 AM

Love them low longbeds. That looks great.

1LoC10 · 05-25-2006, 11:07 AM

looks good

Ackattack · 05-25-2006, 01:10 PM

What kind of rear suspension do you have? Leaf springs (asking since you have a GMC).

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-25-2006, 01:55 PM

Nice

DigitalFusion · 05-25-2006, 02:59 PM

which ridetech kit was it specificly? How much was it?

kansas city cheyenne · 05-25-2006, 03:13 PM

Nice, could you post up somemore pics?

bagged91 · 05-25-2006, 06:46 PM

Also, did you use dropped spindles & if so, what drop?

cstanley · 05-25-2006, 06:54 PM

still confused about bagging. do they inflate while driving? can they stay inflated while parked? are they only for lowereing, or could you use them for improved ride quality and maintain a stock ht? do they have to deflate when you park?

thanks

Coil spring suspension. I believe leaf springs were the optioned item. I own a 71 GMC burb and it lists on the glove box label "leaf spring conversion" as an option.

ARF 11800 - Front kit

I ended up calling the tech folks at ride-tech (ask for Chase, mention JK) to make sure I was headed in the right direction. He set me up with the complete kit (compressor, lines, fittings...everything) Not too salty as far as price goes. Hope this helps.
