Bagging a 89 d50 ext cab HELP!!!!!!

[94mitz]

here is a pic of where i cut the upper arms to do the pie cut

And here is a picture of my upper bag cup

[DroppedMitsu]

Mine are already pie-cut and powder coated so no pics from me, you can see the finished control arms in my thread. But I cut mine in the same place that 94mitz did, but I did NOT cut across the top at all, there is no need as they bend into place fine just pie-cutting the side. Less welding and less grinding.

also, the way 94mitz used a bag cup up front is easier, a lot quicker and works just as well, I just like the look of the welded bag plate and gussets.

those are some awesome systems they have for you to buy and the watts link with the battle cruiser links would make an AWESOME handling pickup and a narrowed 12 bolt with disks could handle a good bit of power with the stock bolt pattern but those front systems could work too

Here you go for the upper mounts, this is almost the same thing I used on mine http://thorbros.com/bag-brackets/fro...irbag-brackets

[DroppedMitsu]

That's exactly what I used, torsion bar bag brackets /\

94mitz after you cut it you just put everything back together and let the wheel tuck up to where you wanted it and then weld it? If not how did you know how far to bent it up

[94maxlow]

Droppedmitsu do you have any pic of your front end so i can see how you did your bag plate.

[DroppedMitsu]

yes that is what you do, put it back together and jack it up all the way to where the wheel would be when layed out. then tack it to hold it in place and pull it off and weld it up.

The last pic I posted on the first page shows my bag brackets and gussets welded up, you must have missed it.

yeah i did. Sorry i did not mean for you to repeat yourself. It has been along day at the shop. I am sitting down tonight trying to make a list of all the parts i am going to need to start bagging the truck. Trying to figure out what is a good air managment system to go with. I have heard really good things about accuair. I am looking for a system were i can lift up and go and not have to full with switches while going down the road. Any suggestion?

[Fordubishi]

I have the Auto-Loc system. works good and wasn't to expensive http://www.autoloc.com/catalog/Air-S...ension-Control now granted you need to buy the valves and pressure sensors but that's another couple hundred bucks

[94mitz]

Droppedmitsu is too fast on the replys for me..... Sorry I didnt get back to your question. As far as the air management system, I cant say from experience because I have just a switch box but ive heard nothing but good from both the accuair and autoloc systems.

[DroppedMitsu]

Only negative I've heard about Accuair is price, if you can afford it then get it. I will not be running the full accuair setup, but will be running their air valve manifold, since i will make the install a LOT cleaner and take up less space than ordinary valves.

[94maxlow]

When i finally get up the money i want to try and get the best of what i can afford. If i can't get the whole system i will do like you said droppedmitsu and just get the manifold. I got a few more thing to do before i start to bag it. I am wanting to do the 5 lug swap before i start to bag it.
