how to bag

i am going to be bagging my truck eventually hopefully sooner then later. im not worried about the rear they are all the same on a truck but the front is completely different. does anyone know how to do the front is it strut bags or should it be done torsion style bag mount if anyone has pics that would be good too

 

Im not sure about 2nd gen 2wd taco's, but ur truck looks lowered now? what was used to lower it? from google it looks like a bag strut, but when it comes to bagging something for real low clearance, there can be like 50 thousand things to take into mind...like wheel size, clearance, etc etc.. I helped a friend bag an S10 once, and he wanted it to lay flat on the frame....which required actually cutting and re-welding the control arms so that the ball joints moved right. Not to mention cutting out is inner fenders....firewall...master cylinder bracket.....pedal cluster... and re-mounting it all to re-welded firewall brackets. Crazy shit! but it fit a 22" wheel up in there somehow.

 

yeah it is lowered with a spacer control arms and blocks now ive helped do an s10 also but didnt require anything like that it was just bag cups in the coil pockets all that work was needed to clear the 22s i assume

 

i just looked iy up and i dont see anything for the new tacomas

 

first ask yourself what you want FROM your setup, then decide on what you REALLY Need from the setup. That way your not buying recklessly as well as narrowing your install options to specifics.

get in some reading time. I will be adding more to this thread. just been working more lately. this will give you the basics on air suspension and help when people are using air suspension gargin on you as well as you just being in the know of how things work when you do get it all done.

 

not my work or my truck but this is the uppers for 05+ from mmw i think they are $599. also you have to make brackets to move arm to top of frame.

 

You use stock lowers and stock spindle but you have to use spacers.

these are other references. you will notice that from these pics and references that its been tried 2 or 3 times to mount the bag on top of the upper control arm but the angle is not right and they all ended up going with the bag between the upper and lower control arm. i know for sure the tacoma in the first link and second link ended up with the bag between the upper and lower in the end, also the second link explains z'ing the frame and you need a new trans cross member.

 

couple more pics not my work or my truck just pics ive came across, also this truck lays full frame on 22s.

 

this is a pic of the truck that the suspension work i posted is on, once again im not sure who owns the truck or who did the work.

 

Haggard Fab in New Jersey did that truck. I saw it at Layd out at the Park a couple years ago and talked to the guy who built it. He told me that the owner is in Japan.

 

just for shits and giggles, these would be nice for the rear.

 

thanks for all the info guys i wish they would just make a strut bag it would make everything so much easier lol

 

Lol they do. Air lift makes them. Its called air over shock, pretty much similar to the ride tech shockwave but fixed. So when you order, your measurments need to be specific and correct. You can also look into other alternstives, but weigh out your budget. Bolt on now s days means more $$

Just replace top mounts with studs

 

thanks a lot im saving that link until i can get them ha hmmmm maybe taxes will buy them for me if i can pay off a credit card lol i only want the bolt on for the front the rear will be 4 link and slam bags

 

Hey guys I was wondering if I could get some help I have a 2001 tacoma standard cab and I was wondering if they made a fbss kit or if its easier to piece it together and what you guys recommend for bags and parts.... im new to the bag life and just reading up on it and getting some ideas.

 

There should be a front and 4/5/6 link kit for your truck.

 

Hey kinda digging up an old thread i guess but im wondering if you guys have run a static setup on these trucks? Currently running mine literally no springs with 3 in blocks on the rear and im wanting to go bagged to get even lower any recent links on front bag shocks or anything?
