I've been thinking about bagging my fc all round, don't wanna put a chassis kit

Just wondering, If it has been doing? anything go wrong with it *other then rego/defect* Pros and cons

Any help would be great, couldn't find anything for bags on here, so if there is one link me.

Thanks gals & gents

Hi Jamie,

I haven't done it but I've been thinking about it for a long time and seen a few instals to inspire me.

an HR front end can be bagged by modifying the control arms and cross member upper spring mounts to take bags.

the rear end can be done most simply by removing leaves and putting bags over the diff and modifying the area of floor above the diff to incorporate the mounting structure.

I would recommend speaking to your local engineer and rego authorities first though, because it has to be safe and bags cant rub/chaff, and structure must be strong, otherwise the result could be disastrous.

the mini truck guys are well clued up on this stuff but often their DIY instals leave alot to be desired.

pros = smooth ride and adjustable ride height.
cons = cost to install and engineering.

there's  a nice bagged purple EK over on the FB/EK forum.

Cheers

Ed
