I'm bagging my '55 Truck, I only have the rear bags now, and we are about to
start building the chassis .... also I'm bagging the front of my 2000
Silverado this weekend, I have the Air Ride Cool Ride kit with upper and
lower control arms for it, in the back I'm looking at KP Components 6-link,
it's a bolt on 4-link for the front, and off the back of the axle is a 2
link cantilever which houses the bags. http://www.kpcomponents.com
This is a link to a picture of the Ford 6-link, but you can see how it
attaches http://www.kpcomponents.com/Images/Products/Large/BO4LBOC-04.jpg
As for notching the frame, it all depends on how low you want to go. A
standard C notch will get you a little more room, or for the slammed on the
ground stance you could go with a 8 or 10 inch step notch, which is probably
what I will do for my '55 .... my intention is to get my truck as low as
this truck (I don't know who's it is, but I like how it looks)

Subject: [oletrucks] any bagged trucks out there...
Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you guys have bagged trucks out there?
Ever since I bagged my '64 caddy, I've seen the light. I used to try
to drive it around with cut coils, but I couldn't drive anywhere with a
bit of a drive way entrance and I scraped everything. The last straw
was when I tore off an exhaust pipe and ruined a hard to find
mainifold. The bags have solved all my lowered car problems...
Since my caddy, I've been toying with the idea of bagging my '50 1/2
ton. these guys have some 4-link kits that look pretty cool:
www.suicidedoors.com.
Did you have to notch the frame? It doesn't look like you would have to.
What are drawbacks to a 4/link and/or air bag set up for everyday use?
I use my truck for truck stuff like going to the dump and hauling car
parts.
Thanks for any advice
