JustinWillmon Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Just picked up a 73 chevy c10. Trying to read up and learn about bag setups. I'm wanting to bag my truck but don't have a clue what all I need. I have Only lifted my trucks in the past so I don't even know where to start. I've been looking at full kits because I don't feel comfortable piecing together my own stuff since I don't know much. I don't want to cheap out and just look for budget friendly stuff but I also don't have $20,000 to go towards bags. Can anyone help me out and give me some guidance. Maybe on what all I need to bag it and what not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 do you want it to lay out or just be bagged. big difference in what you'll need to do.

JustinWillmon Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 That's where I'm not sure. If you lay frame can you still raise it up to ride at a decent level so you don't bottom out everywhere? I like the look when the tires are tucked just a little so if I could get that without laying frame I think I would be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 yes you can. heres the thing. once you bag it and dont lay it out. you're going to start learning more about it and want to do it. Either that or people throw big money into the engine and run thehell out of em. theres a whole forum dedicated to these trucks. That would be a good place to start.

JustinWillmon Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yeah I'm on one of them already and have gotten some help. It looks like porterbuilt is making the best components for these trucks at the moment? I also read about Steve's Tahoe and how he has the self adjusting ride height and all that, so I'm just feeling overwhelmed I guess and don't want to start ordering the wrong stuff haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidingTooLow Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 You will get fucked buying a kit and or having someone install the system and them ordering your parts for you.Read up. They will se you coming a mile away with a fistful of cash and no clue about what is about to be done.If done uncorrectly it can ruin your truck and make it very unsafe to drive. I see it a lot around here in Houston. Lottttsssss of bagged trucks in this area. I used to own A Dodge Dakota that was bagged and driven daily. A lot of heartache and a lot of money. Do a lot of research and get an understanding of what your budget is, and what you are trying to achieve with the vehicle. Good luck, no feeling like being on bagz.

JustinWillmon Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Thanks I appreciate that. I definitely don't want something that's unsafe to drive. So is there any recommendation on who make the est quality parts? And is a 4 link in the rear the best way to go or is there something better to do? It seems like in the front it's pretty simple and straight forward. Just seems the rear is a little more complex. And I don't have a problem doing it myself. I have a welder, plasma cutter, etc. it's just a matter of getting the right equipment haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 if you have never done a rear you can try the bolt on 4 link from chassis works.. makes it much easier for one with no knowledge with aligning the axle i also went with the watts link so my axle wont shift as I lower or rise the truck my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
