I was wondering if anyone would be willing to offer advise about AIR BAG link designs (triangular 4 link vs traditional 4 link vs ladder bar vs three link), products, how to , how not to, experiences during building, who are some of the good vendors, bad vendors.

I am asking because there is a number of very nice bagged trucks in process or finished and being enjoyed and i wanted to see if they would be interested in sharing there knowledge on this subject. I know that there is not a way to make someone an expert from a forum posting but some of those trucks and owners have really inspired me to take my truck in a different direction and with that inspiration and some very sound advise and patience with multiple questions I have been able to make my truck my own. Without that I would have probably hacked something off that I might have needed to stay attached (no John Bobbitt pun intended). I may never get a magazine spread but I feel secure with how it will drive down the road and smile when the guy in his Camaro sees nothing but the LUV taillights wondering how the h_ll ( :ebiggrin j/k no offense to the Camaro guys).

Please tell what you think

Don't want to use a ladder link when baggin a truck, best bet is a tri 4 link(like me, lol) or a parraell 4 link, or a 3 link(wishbone). I also don't recommended usin a 2 link, not a good quality ride and shifts axle. I would read this article about 4 links, http://www.streetsource.com/forum/topic.aspx?topic_id=85853&Page=1

Any more questions just ask!

It does have a license plate so technically it is a street truck, that sets off car alarms and makes kids cry. lol

That is a watts link w/a parallel 4 link with cantilever lift, a little extreme for the first time bagger! Badass for sure though! BBT does some amazing work!
