Bags on the rear

Ironhead · 02-08-2012, 09:16 PM

Ok guys I am not real familiar with bagging trucks but I want to know if bagging the rear of my truck would be hard? I use the truck to move my Motorcycles around as I fix buy and resell and I was thinking if I bagged rear I could drop the back for ease of loading as well and run up the pressure for the load in the bed any suggestions or comments are welcome thanks again

Ya its definitely been done. Air shocks may be a better bet for you. But either way would handle your motorcycle, bags would just be a bit more work. The shocks you could just swap out with the factory ones.

Usually, if you have to ask if it's hard, then it probably is, but then again, it really depends on which route you take to get it done.

I'll second the recommendation to just use air shocks to help with a load. If you were to bag the rear (like a link suspension), then you would have no "fall back plan" if you were carrying a load and had any kind of failure. Atleast with air shocks just bolted in place of the stock shocks, you could still get around with a sudden air leak.

I have to equipment and the ability to install just about everything at the shop I work at but I have to keep in mind I have to drive it to and from. The Air shocks Idea is a good one I think and I might go that route I remember the air lines used to be a pain in the butt always broke on others guys trucks and stuff but I am sure it was because it was Mickey moused. Thanks for the replies and I think I have the answer I was seeking. Thanks again gang
