Couple new additions to my LBZ

I'd love to see how the bags work too!... Want to do something like this on my truck.
Any news?

Yeah I'm back on it. Building a whole new setup for my 07. Just waiting on Ballistic to get my joints in the mail. The 3 link is working awesome but I'm wanting to try something new. I'm still using Firestone bags just not as big since this truck will be half notched and very low. I'm not gonna do a full notch because I don't want to cut up a cherry short bed. Pics to come
Yes I'm working on a new kit.
I'm not Diesel Mafia I'm D-MAX Mafia. I can give you details on my initial build.
No, I'm not using that bag. There are about 30 different bags that can be used depending on mounting style and inches of lift or drop. I spent a lot of time to figure out which bag worked best for me. Download the Firestone pdf and go from there.
It's worth it. The bags ride 100x better than leaf springs!
Sorry my man!Well that is just totally unacceptable!!
Priorities man....priorities!!:hug:

Similar idea to what I'm doing but bag with be behind the axle and a 3 link radius arm setup
These bags are what Keldderman. Use rated at 4900lbs @90psi.. Got PDF file as well which is in link below

I found the right bag to use. James has the part number, its probably smaller than yours but has 13.5" of travel. The only thing I need us how to set the links up. Is your links articulate enough for off-road, like flexing over big rocks in the trails but still function like a desert prerunner?
I have no issues with articulation. I recently added Ballistic Fab forged joints on the top of my mini truss and at the mounts off the frame of the lower links tonight. My links had Ballistic forged bushings on both ends and the lower links kept breaking the jam nuts loose on the ends at the axle.
Took it through the desert tonight after installing the last 2 Ballistic joints. It flexes like crazy. My little girl and I went on a couple trails meant for a much smaller vehicle than my CCSB but I had no issues and never put it in 4x. We even got the front end off the ground a couple times.
The new shocks I put up front seem to be a bit short. They are bottoming out before the upper arm hits the bump stop. I think they are meant to be used with the ProComp shock extenders so I will be getting a set until I install coilovers in the front. Also added new longer CV's in the front and ditched the spacers.

Sub for later. Love the way the welding bed looks
That's awesome to know. Exactly the setup I'm looking for. I have the bag number if you're interested to see what the specs are, might be more travel than yours and has an internal bumper stop. I'm hoping to get mine bagged in the rear in the summer before labor day.
