Gearstix Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Well guys I still got my reg cab 94 sonoma. I am getting a FBI heim 4 link from a buddy. I will also be getting a Sanden EDC with it, with any luck. I may or may not convert it to poly bushings. I will be buying a raised gas tank crossmember from AVS or Suicide Doors or FBI, and welding tabs onto it for my upper link bars. However I'm not sure what I should do for bag placement... I will be doing a notch. I can't do bag on bar because the bars are sorta skinny, there not meant for that. I will be putting a Blazer gas tank in the back behind the axle, so I'm not sure if two rearward liftbars would work without coliding with the gas tank (turn it into a 6 link) I can do bag on axle, behind the axle.. ? I was told to run sleeves behind the axle but I'm not sure if I want to. Seems like there easy to mess up, I want something simple and bulletproof for my first setup. Quote 2005 Blazer Build...

sully Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Bag over axle rides like crap compared to on the bars. I would measure the lower bars and make new ones out of 2x2x1/4 and put bags on the bars as far forward as you can to get the most lift and best ride. I got my 4link from Suicide Doors and it is great quality, if you can't make your own lowers you can get any length you need from them. It will be worth a few extra bucks now for the better ride quality. Also i only run Slam Specialty bags, best on the market (IMO) Quote 2003 Ford F-150 Reg Cab layin body on 26's 2003 Tahoe 3/5 drop on 26's with a 408cid Supercharged engine. 2011 Camaro 2SS 2005 VW GTI Stage II ECU, CAI, 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC, lowered 2" on some plastidipped 18's 2003 Hayabusa lowered, stretched, cams, nitrous and custom paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeves do ride a little better than convoluted in that application, but in no way compares to a bag on bar setup. And I'm pretty partial to my Slam's also.

Gearstix Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I could turn it into a 6 link but I'm not sure if the bars will hit a blazer tank. I may be able to make some lowers.

sully Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Suicide doors sells bar gussets, you can check them out on there site, if you have a plasma cutter you can fab your own out of 1/4" or larger plate and put the bags on your current bars. It still may be easier to replace the lowers with the right bars, especially if you have round tube right now.

I'm thinking I may just slap some behind axle brackets... waiting to do my taxes first. Quote 2005 Blazer Build... Mach 5 SPL-12s, Audiopipe AP3000.1D..
