I need some input. I've gat a 86 SWB 2wd I'm wanting to bag. Just looking for some I put on a good system and if there were any wheel clearance issues. I'm not wanting to go super big on wheels just 18's or 20's at the most. Any input would help

Or my other option that I'm looking at is the suspension kit from LMC truck ( 4.5" front and 6" rear ) has anyone used this kit and are there any clearance issues with 18 or 20" wheels.

I have a static drop 5 in front with spindles and coils and 7 in back, leaf flip, mini notch, overload leaf removed and drop shackles. I am running 20x8 up front and 20x10 in back. I did have to remove my innerfederwells for clearance. In the back...no problems. I am starting the early stages of bagging my truck. I plan on a fourlink in the back and double convoluted bags up front. Im not expecting to lay out the frame since I will not be relocating the dual side tanks. A excellent source for all things bag related (turnkey setup) is airslamit.com




pics are before and after bodywork and paint.

Smoothandlow84, Any pics of the truck's bagging progress? Before, during and after?
I love 4Link (or whatever setup), bag, compressor and valve porn!!!!

Any things learned that you'd do different?
I've got a lot to figure out, but I'm doing Slam Specialties bags and I've got a few small other things ironed out.
