Bagging an 03 Hoe.....(56k Killer)

[Young28]

looks good, but thats alot of work to be higher then a static drop would be...

i was thinking the same thing.

i would swap the 3/8 dumps on the back and put the

front as 1/2 up 3/8 down

and the rear as 3/8 up and 1/2 down

The rear will pop up FAST.. but needs help getting back down..

agreed i need to get a bigger valve on my dump in the rear cus my front goes down so much faster...

and X5 on cutting the top bracket, you will get alot lower if you cut it...

yea.. if i were buying a new set id run at LEAST a 3/8-1/2 setup on the back.. but probably 3/8-3/4

Wow, for a second I thought that was a static drop, I sit lower than that with my DJM coils.
Cut those brackets down like others said so you atleast lay on the tire.

Well we weren't able to get the front done due to time (I had to have it driveable by Monday). We put on the DJM lowers and McGaughy spindles and cranked down the torsions about as far as they can go.

We started looking at clearance issues up front and there appear to be a lot. we had to cut off half of the bumpstop bracket for the bag to fit, but there is also a big hole in the frame (where the bracket back plate goes), however it has a raised lip. Has anyone else had to deal with this? I'm assuming you would have to grind down the lip, and relocate the brake line to put the bracket.

Does anyone have specific pics of their front setup that is running the bags on the Lower Control Arm?

I probably won't start on bagging the front until a few weeks from now due to my buddy's schedule that helped out.

Here's a pic to show the setup.

front is at 31" at center of wheel, rear is at 32.5" completely deflated.

again... its nowhere near where it is going to be... this was just a start to get me motivated (the parts have been sitting in the garage for almost a year).

ill see if i can find any pics..

I just ground the lip down and flush with the frame and plated it in the added my upper mounts from there...
