Helper bags with a 3/5 drop

[solidrunner]

I finally got the bags back on my truck after lowering it. I forgot to buy the fittings for the bags themselves, so I haven't aired them up yet. I was able to twist the over the axle pipe and bend the hanger to allow the exhaust to clear without cutting or welding.

Got a picture of how exactly you did your return line? I'm trying to make the picture jn my head and it's not working lol. I do like that bag setup. Might have to give that a try this summer

Looks good but I would put some extra bracing on that mount to the frame.

those bags are almost fully extended, does your ride height drop quite a bit after you put the bed and everything back on? if not, you will tear those bags apart like that and get a pretty rough ride

Those bags are in the neutral position, exactly like they are in the Firestone kit. I measured the distance between the frame and the axle with the bed on, and then used a rachet strap to load the suspension without the bed on. I've done quite a few air ride setups, I'm not worried about it.

I might add some gussets from the top of the mount to the frame. I'm going to put some weight in the bed and air the bags up and see what kind of flex the mount has in it. Its kind of hard to see in the pictures, but the wings on the sides of the mount are about 4" long and come down at about a 45 degree angle.

Are you talking about the return for the FASS?

 

[minerigger]

Ummm. Honestly now I can't remember. I guess I'm curious how you did the lines since you add the sump what do you do with the pickup from factory location?

I ran the return for thru FASS to the factory suction line. I used the fuel line adapters provided with the kit, so the connection is still down by the fuel cooler. It works awesome.

Im trying to figure out how to run bags on my truck right now too. Just finished it last weekend but I need to notch it i think and am also considering doing my bags inside the frame. Any issues with it so far?

None at all. I hauled a car home yesterday, ran 20 psi in the bags. They are working awesome.
