No i don't, but there are some on here. i'm just saying it some what easy if you have mechanical ability, cuz there is a lot less work, no notch, link bars and all that u have to do on the back. Once you pick what baggs you want, put tha bag buckets in the A arms and run your line, front is not as complicated. Keep in mind most of these guys have body drops which requires much more fab work. Just a simple bag job isnt to complicated.

Some of the 1/2 ton guys talk about clearancing the lower control arms at the wheel lip. Are you guys seeing this on the 1 tons? Shouldn't be too hard to check.

Wonder if my tire chains will still fit? LOL

bags are cool...but I had my share... static is for me..my truck will always run, great tire wear too...blow a bag and who knows...
I run the bell tech nitrodrop shocks to control suspension ........I did rip my trans crossmember on some f%$# up road....but you would have these problems on any lowered vehicle

The Bell site shows something called a "spare tire relocator" kit. Why would you need this? Or do I want to know...

So it begins.

ANY drop kit will sag in time, no matter the name brand or shocks you run due to the sheer weight of the truck. Trucking magazine did a story on it several years ago when Dually's started hitting the scene hard. Bottom line is it's your truck, you run what set up you want and drive it till she falls apart. Just tryin to pass along some friendly advise. Good luck and post pics!

How about a "before and after?"

Just kidding. Maybe I'll get to the "after" in a few years...

I've thought about that. Is there anything wrong with running one tire on the rear to limp home?

Done it 3 times, wrecked one tire.

DRIVE SLOW if you are going to drive home on that. The time I wrecked one I didn't notice the vibration due to mud in the duals (and it's a 10 500 pound work truck) and drove 100.
