I am getting my list together to order the rest of what I need for my bag set up on my '02 F150 Supercrew. My question is, what do I need for the front as far as bag mounts and brackets? I have Belltech spindles with 22's (trying to lay frame). I am using Firestone 2600's in the front. What size cups and stuff should I order (from Suicide Doors probably)?

have fun with the 2600's... your gonna have to notch your frame and suck them in closer to clear the spindle.
Which means your going to need to cut the stock spring perch off, and go with a gusseted bag plate off the frame

^^^ thats interesting to me, I've got 2500's on my f150's front and can't imagine a 2600 fitting, but when I asked about using 2500's on the back too, to hopefully get more lifts before the compressor kicks on, everybody and their brothers said I needed 2600's up front too... just doesn't make any sense to me at all!

Oh, to hopefully answer the initial question, I think you can just do cups w/ 2500's and the spindles to lay frame on a screw... assuming it's the same as a f150.

Looks like you've got the spindles on already... If you havent' done it already, your probably going to need to flip your tie rods in the spindles or you'll get some crazy toe changes when you bag it too. Bell tech fucked that design up bad.

why are you using firestones!!!!! on an f150 clearance is tight and slam bags would work much better... you can fit RE 7's up front.. plus no need to mount shocks .. have fun with 2600's and fitting shocks... are you using djm lowers or stock ones?

i have heard no one needing to flip tie rods just for bagging??? wierd i am but im also body dropped to the doors fitting big wheels

Joel, it's not from just bagging, it's the bell tech spindles. they move the hub up 2" and also moved the tie rod up 2". it causes really bad bumpsteer and the toe changes dramatically from layed out to lifted. Really bad design, but flipping them helps a lot.

Sorry, I haven't gotten back to the computer in a couple of days. I was using firestone's because that's what I have. I have a basic setup with stone 2500's and 2600's and thought I could use the 2600's up front and just buy the 2800's for the rear. I HAVE heard that you don't have to run shocks with Slam bags. True? That would be a plus. I already planned to remove the stock spring perch and build gusseted bag mounts. If I can lay frame with a certain bag using cups and stock perchs, that would be great, but I didn't think I could. I do have 2" BT Spindles on already and was going to use stock lowers and raise the uppers. Oh, and what cups would I need? I haven't seen any cups for the F-150, only S-10 and 98+ Rangers, etc.

i have had 2600's firestones on the front of my truck for over two years now,no problem.i also have the shock inside the arms beside the bags,no turning radius lost at all.i made my own upper mount,remove the coil mount,use a tubular lower arm and remove the sping cup.make a new lower mount in the arm,angle the mounts and the bag towards the motor.my bag fills straight up and down no mater what,none of that acordin like crap.i can post some pics when i fix my scanner.
