i have a 3 link on my ride with bags on the lower links, without bags on the truck can side to side freely 24", however when i hook up the bags, eight valve system, i cant get it to do a standing three wheel. I've seen lowriders on juice with a chain bridge attached at the pumpkin of the axle and some how this will get my truck to do a standing three wheel better..will it work with the bags? i cant see how it works, they say it makes your front opposong wheel just come right off the ground threefold....wondering if i should do it, looks ghetto but i wanna stand a three foot three wheel

why would u wanna do that with a truck on air??? if u want to 3 wheel why dont u do hydros? ull never be able to a standing 3 wheel unless u run cans on ur truck with a suction valve. but then u have to reinforce everything cuz ull twist the fuck out of ur truck. My advice dont waste ur time its not worth it or go to juice

You will also need quite a bit of weight in the rear of the truck. Most hydro setups have a trunk full of batteries behind the rear axle.

my frame is made out of 3x3 and 3x4 rec. steel 1/4" wall with a lot of x- bracing, it isnt flexing at all. I can three wheel now, just seeing if the chains really do what people say they do instead of running a ballast tank for a high standing three wheel

well chain briges work great if you know where to place the chains and you get the lengths right, but i dunno if a bag has enought lift for it to get the leaver action of the chain bridge to work right, expecialy the hight you want.

Referring to the can thing thats not true haha my buddy kicks a 3 wheel on standard air lift bags, all he has is a nitrogen tank mounted back by the tailgate.

Juice creates more pressure, thousands of pounds of pressure, if you put enough air pressure in ur bags you can do the same. You wont get thousands of pounds of pressure in ur bags without them blowing but 145psi off ur pressure switch isnt gona pull a wheel either, a few hundred psi might do the trick. I could always pull the rear wheel when I turned the pressure up a little. Some weight in the back of a little minitruck might help too.
