Exactley, im all for modding man, But this again doesnt look too safe IMO
These are the ignorant type of post that causes all of the issues.

If you read any of the thread, the bag and cup are just stitting there. The bag isn't mounted to the cup, and it is just a quick test fit making sure my measurments added up.

I love that there are three pages of you guys bickering, and talking trash yet no moddifications have been done besides de-cranking the front.

I will never get respect on this forum and mostly due to posts like this makeing ignorant statements from not reading the thread. I understand I have plenty of loose ends to wrap on the HD but people are still freaking out over them when it has not went down the road. That is why it is called a project truck and the project isn't finished yet I get bashed for my work in progress.

The first comment you made was " is the pipe event attatched." The answer has been a few times in this thread already. Therfore you were talking trash with no warant.

To answer you question on how I plan to attach it, I will either cut the "dome" off the spring mount and add a plate to bolt the cup to. I was also considering using the top, and bottom coil off the spring because it will attomaticaly center the bag and locate it just as if it were the original spring.

The other nice thing about using the coil off the spring I don't have to modify the truck at all, so if I want to go to stock down the road I will just need springs and re-crank the front.

Without a huge fight can anyone tell me inteligent reasons why the top and bottom spring coil idea would be a bad one?

Just a thought..... If the airbag mount is a throttle body, are you planning to use the gas pedal to control ride height?







I don't even wanna comment on cutting the coils to mount the bags.....
