I have a 2001 Xtreme extended cab. I'm looking for a reliable alternative to 1000$-1500$ for bags. I know coil overs are adjustable but I want more play than the 3 inches the average guy has. (Who doesn't want more play?) I'm hoping I can fit 19's on and still keep within 1" off the ground but raise it to 6" when I'm hopping curbs or potholes in St.Louis. Any suggestions?  

Only thing i can think of is baggin it for what you man . And lemmie tell ya , i was a lil iffy about the money part too , until i bagged my 93 S-10 . If i were to start over again , i would not have waited so long to do it . LOL .The looks on people's faces when ya hit switches in a parking lot or at a stoplight is priceless . LOL . And as far as the reliability of bags , it all depends on the quality of work and the parts you buy . I have had mine bagged for a year now (still have the tiny Thomas compressor only) and had no major issues to date . I just ordered an EDC (Engine Driven Compressor) and a DC5000 to give the poor lil Thomas a well deserved rest . LOL .  

Yeah man bag it!!!!!  It is worth it and if you are willing to spend 1000-1500 I can get you a sweet setup!!  

Shoot , when i get a lil extra $$$ saved up , imma be in the market for a back half . My frame has "Cancer" . LOL .  

Hey TagDragger, sounds like you have been looking at our back half kits?????????  

Yep . And i like what i see . LOL . Now it is a matter of savin up the $$$ and deciding between weld on or bolt on . LOL .  

well I've decided yes on bags. I want them to be durable, reliable, and tough cuz I ride my truck in the red. link me to some good merch?  

well i can recomend viair compressors, slam bags, and extreme valves..  havent had any issues with any of them..  firestone bags are ok.. i just dont like them...LOL..

steve...  and  yes bags are durable..  just dont make them rub on anythng and you shoudl be A ok  

Yea , i recommend slam bags also . I love mine . lol . And if ya can't afford viar compressors , look on ebay , there is a dude on there sellin DC5000's for 175 . i got one and love the fill time . lol . not to mention no problems with is as of yet . oh yea , and by the way , i finally got the rear of mine slowed down too . lol . i went oldschool and got a pair of ball valves . lmao .  

How/where do I find someone close that can do a reliable job on this?  

Talk to people around town where you are at and find someone that gets talked about for great welding jobs . If you do the prep work like gettin things out of the way that need to go and everything measured , they might cut ya a break on the $$$ part . As far as installin it all , if ya got the time and space , do it yourself , it is more rewarding . LOL .
