the reason i ask is that i have airlift bags and monroe shocks up front. crappy bags and crappy shocks. so if i could replace one right now, should i go with slam bags or those bilstein shocks? sorry to hi jack the thread...

Its possibly to make a soft bag ride well with a nice shock. The airlifts aren't THAT bad, but neither are the Monroe shocks. Either one will make an improvement over whats there now. But the Bilsteins make a huge difference in ride quality, even when swapping them in place of another nice shock in the $40-60 range.

I modified the Suicide Doors behind and under brackets to bring the bag closer to the axle, and also use a smaller bag plate that fit the F9000 bags better. They will also double as the lower link mounts now.

Built the simplistic compressor mount, where two compressors will mount in the same location. One on top and one on bottom of the plate.

And mounted the Wolo air horns, which are very loud.
