project 67 sub 08-17-2008, 08:57 PM looks good. i like it.
bagged69c10 08-18-2008, 11:21 AM Thanks.
Long Roof 08-18-2008, 04:39 PM Lookin' good. Looks to be pretty solid.
bagged69c10 08-19-2008, 07:06 AM Thanks. It has its fair share of rust, mostly the floorpans.
paisaloco67 08-19-2008, 10:35 AM Nice work! The rear doesnt seem to have a lot of lift. Have u tried
those triple convulted bags? I got some (not installed) they seem
to get u around 3-4 more inches of lift because of the extra convultion.
I will try those on mine (when the time comes) or I just might install
the bags closer to the trailing arm crossmember to get a good lift. :smoke:

I was wondering the smae thing but then again why do you need more lift in the rear you arent gonna be needing clearance to turn or anything?
bagged69c10 08-19-2008, 02:59 PM Its a friend of mines truck. I just do the work on it. He had already bought all the parts before we decided how the setup was gonna be. I didn't want to mount them towards the front of the trailing arms because There wouldn't be much room to work and I wouldn't be able to weld on top. I was gonna mount them right at the front of the notch but it wouldn't get as low. So I mounted them there so it would get as low as possible. It rides pretty good though.
bad6772 08-19-2008, 03:57 PM Looks killer IMO.......................Awesome
bagged69c10 08-19-2008, 04:26 PM Thank you.
duceducenine 08-20-2008, 03:09 PM what are the specs on the wheels? tires? are they tucked completely inside the fenders? are they centerline smoothies? i got a set on my blazer they dont tuck that far are there any clearance issues?
bagged69c10 08-20-2008, 04:00 PM Im not sure on the exact specs of the wheels. I know he just bought them off of ebay for cheap so Im sure he doesn't know the specs. All I know is they are 20's with 45 series tires I believe. They tuck well. Is yours bagged?
shaneschevys 08-21-2008, 12:18 AM Hey that suburban looks familiar. Glad to see it went to a good home!!
bagged69c10 08-21-2008, 07:31 AM I figured you would see this eventually. I posted it up in the sticky for subs too and tried to quote your picture but apparently you can't quote pics.
Hart_Rod 08-21-2008, 08:22 AM Pretty cool!!! I'm kinda partial to bagged 69 burbs, ;).
shaneschevys 08-21-2008, 09:28 AM What are his other plans for it. as far as paint & interior. Its looking good.
bagged69c10 08-21-2008, 11:20 AM Not sure really. I think his next task is gonna be putting a big block in it.
duceducenine 08-22-2008, 04:37 PM yeah im bagged but i had to trim the fenders with the 45 series tires so i went to a 35 series
bagged69c10 08-23-2008, 07:53 AM The fenders are trimmed as much as they can be without cutting into the hood hinge. Looks good.
1LoC10 08-23-2008, 12:17 PM looks real good
bagged69c10 08-23-2008, 04:25 PM Thanks.
98L150 08-24-2008, 12:11 PM looks good. whose step ntch did you use and will this sub be at good guy in dallas this year?
bagged69c10 08-24-2008, 07:52 PM Not sure about the Goodguys. Do they let under construction trucks in? This will be my first time at the show. It is a KP notch.
98L150 08-24-2008, 09:03 PM thanks. if you can drive the car in and its 72 or old you are in. i would definately bring it out
bagged69c10 08-25-2008, 07:15 AM Hopefully he will.
Tow Me 09-03-2008, 11:59 AM Did you use the original trailing arms when you bagged that Suburban? If not, could someone notch the frame and run the stock arms? Of course I would strengthen the originals.
bagged69c10 09-03-2008, 12:53 PM YeaI used stock arms. But the bags are not mounted on the arms they are on the rearend.
Tow Me 09-03-2008, 01:03 PM Good deal! Does the rear axle need to be flipped to the bottom of the arm like you would with leaf springs? I could look under the Burban when I get home.... I'm not sure if the rear end is on top or below the trailing arm from the factory. If it does need to be flipped, does someone make a kit? Thanks for your help!
lolife99 09-03-2008, 02:08 PM rearend is on top of the trailing arms from the factory.
bagged69c10 09-03-2008, 09:36 PM You need to leave it on the top. Switching it on bottom would raise the truck. You actually need lowering blocks between the rearend and control arms to get that low.
Rokcrln 09-06-2008, 08:51 PM Looks good, I like the way you did the rear tubs. I am working on a 72 burb that I am 4dr-ing and may make a dually that will lay frame. I am thinking of a sleave bag for the rear and one of Nate's Dropmembers with stronge arms up front with dually spindles and hubs.
