Any body here know about plug n play bags?? Was wondering if you need to cut the frame or what all goes into it..

 

If by plug n play u mean a rear air bag kit I have one. I went with the air lift brand ride rite kit. No drilling required and installation should take a couple hours. I ran my air lines into the cab. Here's a pic with about 800 pounds in the bed and my tt hooked up. They work great.80 psi in them for this load. Got mine for under 200. If I'm off, please explain plug n play.

you don't need to cut the frame if you don't want to lay out. But you will bottom out on your frame. I'm assuming your talking about lowriders. To sit your truck on it's NUTS you will have to put a step notch in.

 

look up anahiemdrew he is as low as you can get without cutting, but remember he also has a body kit too, so it seems lower

edit* for some reason i thought you had an 04-08

 

i bought a "bolt in" notch that i welded in place that helps out alot on travel

 

jerrybizzle truck looks sweet man. but yeah thats what im talking about hows the rid quality? and do they make it for the front too? how much did that notch cost patman?

 

Checked your profile and truck looks sweet. I just got out of the 2 wd scene in December. Wasn't sure if u were asking for lowering or hauling purposes, appears for lowering. Heres my 04 Sierra that I traded in. 2 inch shackle level and 22s.

Well looking for lowering and hauling lol. That truck looks nice. What made you want to go 4wd? Thanks for the comment I've had this truck for 2 yrs now. Trying to make her 1 bad a$$ truck sine all there is fixed up chevy's around here.

 

the notch is 100 bucks online, and labor to install it

 

I live in Idaho and it snows a fair amount. Also the 40 series tires weren't great for camping. Also had blacked out head and tails just not in that pic.

 

thats a good reason why haha. is it pretty sick going camping in? been wanting to take the ford to the lake here but scared gonna get stuck haha. i bet that looks sick whith the blacked out heads and tails..

 

I am taking it you are refering to removing your leafs and doing true air bag suspension, I've seen the "bolt on" kit from Ride Tech on their site and I'm liking the way it looks there, however I don't have the $$$ to fork out for it at the moment. I'd like to get mine to lay axel only while parked, Any info you find please share.

I tried e-mailing RideTech and the only thing I got was (not exact wording) "You have to notch the crossmember." I've had a load in my truck that sat the truck on the axel and I like that height so I'm pretty sure I don't have to notch my truck for it to fit but not definate, I did notice however in the instillation instructions that it mentions that the exhaust has to be directed out before the tire (or if I can help it just around the bags, I like the rear exit exhaust).
