CAB IS ON!!!!
So I finally got my new rear bags, f9100s and at $200 a pc I was skeptical, till they showed up and I love them. On the right is a f9000, (blue tape protecting the billet)

They get 9.75" of travel, compared to 6.5" ( I think on the f9000)
More hand made brackets

Now before I flipped the frame I thought about any weak point and this one stood out to me, where I pie cut it, so I added a gusset, couldn't hurt

Very nice. I might have missed where this was discussed, but did you invert the 4-bars for clearance w/the d.shaft (they're usually parallel on the bottom & angled @ the top)? What type welder are you utilizing?

GMracer 02-09-2009 01:44 PM

the bars are adjustable so and its not at ride height in the pics

I have an airbag question... (those new bags look incredible btw)
Why do most folks run the sleeved type on the rear and the bellows type up front? Why not run bellows all around?

GMracer 02-09-2009 03:14 PM

They are freakin' awesome haha.

Bellow bags are designed to be used on a ratio setup, like the control arms will work the bag 2:1 or 1.5:1. Some guys will use bellows out back, but you typically mount them on a cantilever arm or even the 4 link bar itself, using the bag again in a ratio setup. Sleeves are designed for a 1:1 ration, and tend to ride better and have more control on ride feel with them.

I've seen guys run bellows 1:1 but they don't ride great, and loose lift.
