Default Any body on bags around here?

I have a gmc 2500 bagged and there are lots of guys lowered static and bagged on the forum. I don't see many custom F-150s on the road of on this forum just curious. In case anyone cares here is how my truck is set up so far. Clearly needs allot of work mostly painting the bed. I just shortened it from a long bed to a short and 4 linked the rear.

It has a 6.0 with 240,000+ miles. Runs 13.4@100 on a 100 shot.

I have always been a ford guy but I really don't like the trucks all that much. I was going to buy a 07 4x4 from the company I work for and that is why I got on this forum. I really want a new Taurus but I don't know if I want to spend the cash on a new car.

Like I said I don't plan to buy ford any time soon if I don't get the one from work. But if anyone has one they want to bag and live near NW Ohio I would be willing to do the work for a very good price. It would be lots of fun.

Don't have that much lift on the front?

What bags did you use?

Lines?

Compressor?

Oxygen? Nitrogen Tank?

13.4 @ 100mph vid or it didn't happen

Nice start on a cool project though.

It was a still the longbed at the time. I will have to find the slip because my buddy didn't show the score board. It has ran a best of 14.2 off the bottle. I am shooting for 12s on the 100 shot if I ever get to the track this year.

1/2 inch air line, on board compressor, 5 gallon tank, The front has shockwaves and rear has firstone 2500 series bags. You can't get the lift out of the front like the rear because you don't have the room. This is bag on bar so every inch of bag movement there is 2-3" raise. The front controll arms are much shorter so 1" of bag is only just over an inch of movement. It has around 8" up front and 20" or so out back.

I've got a bagged s10. 93 2.8 5 speed. 2 inch spindle, upper/lower cups, 2500 firestone bags in front. 50/50 4 link in rear, 2600 slam bags, bags on rear bars. 5 gal tank mounted under bed, took an ac compressor from a jeep and turned it into a driveline. I have a dc5000 comp mounted under the bed for a backup. 1/2 line and 8 1/2 gmc extreme valves.
