I was about to do a 4/6 or 5/7 drop with 20's on my 2001 RCSB stepside. I talked to my buddy that works at his own shop and he said he would bag my truck with 1/2" lines, tanks, compressor, notch, spindles and everything else for $1600.00 out the door. For that price, im thinking about doing it. Hes hookin me up cause im good friends with him and because i have taken business to him before so hes giving me his best price. Im just wondering if driving a bagged truck as a daily driver is practical?? I need something reliable to get back and forth from work. Of course i would love to have bags over a regular drop kit but i want to know what kind of problems i would run into or if it would be completely fine to drive a bagged truck as a daily driver. Let me know guys!! Thanks!!

 

i would ask this question over at gmfullsize.com. not to promote another site but alot more people drive bagged trucks over there. ALOT MORE!

 

Depends how you get it bagged. Bagged trucks ride real nice because of air in the bags. As long as you dont try to drive it will the bags fully empty you will have no problems. my buddy has his 03 denali bagged with 24's and he loves the way it rides now. he just keeps it at normal ride hieght for normal driving and if he wants he lets it down once he is parked. Some problems can happen but you just have to take care of your set-up, make sure it is properly aligned and the bags dont get small leaks or anything. You should be fine if you decide to do it so i would def go for it.

 

It also depends on the kit that you get. Installed for $1600 is hella cheap, so remember you get what you pay for.

I drove a 96 Accord on bags for about a year till I passed it on to my little bro and he drives it about 25 miles ONE WAY to and from college. The biggest problem is air leaks. Just maintain it and you should be fine.

For that price I would do it depending on the kit.

 

Alright guys, I found out that he will be doing a 2-link rear end on the bag system. He said he would do a 4-link if i wanted him to but he suggests the 2 link for my truck because i am also going for performance so he said the 2-link would be alot stronger. He will also be using slam bags with 1/2" nylon lines. I asked about copper lines and he said the copper lines are a pain to install and they cause more problems than they are really worth. He will also put an onboard compressor with the tanks, Spindles in the front so it will completely lay frame and he will also cut out my front fender wells and weld it up so i can lay frame on 20's. He said he would also hook up side to side for an extra 250 bucks which would cover the extra lines, valves and switches needed including the install. He said he would put slow release valves in if i wanted him to for when i lay the truck out, it wont just pound the ground, it will go down slowly.

I think that is it. I was trying to remember everything he told me but i was hard to remember especially since i dont know too much about this stuff myself. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for the help so far guys!!!! Taylor

 

2 link is the cheaper way go 4 link

 

Is 4-link as strong as 2-link?

 

4 link will be stronger

 

I think he said something about the 4-link being weaker because it has smaller shims and alot more of them or something like that.

 

Get a good quality 4-link I think that guy is just trying to save some money. A good quality 4link will be stronger and be better for performance.
